Infact we are told almost nothing at all - and nothing near the truth. One Intel notebook, apparantly with HT is used. The deep versions of the engines is used... Was ponder swithced on? It's funny to think it was! And then it's no wonder if Juniors evaluation was so wild. Probably Fritz doesn't suffer in performance ran on Intel, but I think Junior does. Books: Original? Reset learning? Hashtablesize? Tablebases? Etc, etc. Many of us have those engines, and more too, and this is the first I've seen Junior being beaten so hard by a Fritz engine. They use to be about even. It's simply to folish, though it's presented like it was scientific facts! Is the Chessbase editors on vacation? This is far below their normal propaganda. Henrik
