The fruit team because they trusted the Fritz gui to give correct information. Chessbase is known to give wrong information to engines(we already have experience with the 1 Mbyte hash bug). conclusion is that programmers should never trust the Fritz gui to give correct information to the engine and they should simply ignore commands that comes from the Fritz GUI. If people want to change personality the only possibility should be by changing some ini file. This is the way that I allow changing personality in Movei. Fortunately there is no bug in Fritz GUI that edit ini files that the engine is using. Note that bugs of giving wrong information like 1 mbyte hash may be result of error and not of bad intentions. I am almost sure that chessbase GUI will not have a bug that change ini files of engines for something inferior because even if they have a bad intention to make other engines weaker(I assume that they have not bad intention) then I believe that they are not stupid enough to create evidence for their bad intentions and I think that a bug that changes ini files of engines for something that produce inferior results is a clear evidence for bad intentions.
