They obviously don't autoplay. When Fritz 5.32 was released, learning and tablebases access didn't work when autoplaying. They didn't even notice and a patch was needed to solve these bugs (I just got the beautiful Dvorak piano trios for having discovered these bugs; thanks, Matthias). All the autoplayer bugs in Nimzo 99 and Junior 5 indicate that not much autoplaying at all happened before release. So 2 out of 3 programs that went to the top in the SSDF list don't fit with Bob's theory, and several others don't either... Enrique
