I think that if we assume that it is correct(something that I do not assume) then the following sentences are the consequence. 1)Fruit2.1 or Toga are inferior engines. 2)Fritz control the way that they work so it always comes on top of them. 3)Tests when Fruit2.1 performs better than Fritz8 are faked because otherwise 1 and 2 are not correct. No thanks, if every engine was implemented this way, there wouldn't be any >other engine you could load into "your" interface. > >I stopped buying the Chess Tiger line of products, I stopped buying the Fritz >line of products and now, sadly, I wont be buying Zappa either. Not a threat, >just a bit of market research for you. I clearly understand your decision but the claim that fritz allows only inferior engines and control the way that they work does not need to be correct in order to make it. Uri
