Go up one level in this thread


I think this is a rotten idea.  Very frequently I have Fritz5 open at the same
time I have Blitzin open, but I don't cheat.  For example often times when a GM
tournament is being broadcast on ICC, I will use Fritz5 to analyse the game in
progress, so I can get a better understanding of what is going on.
