Not if the GUI that you are tying the engine to, implements these rules for you.
The way Fritz is programmed, and sold, ties the GUI into it as part of the
program. If you have simply lifted the engine out from the GUI, and this is not
something that it is intended for you to do, then you have left half of the
engine behind and your test is an invalid one. It would be like taking just some
procedures out of a program, and wondering why the program no longer does
everything that you expect it to do.
