Allegedly some tried this out. In Germany someone proved the moves, another
"expert" (no name given!) doesn't confirm.
If I was interested and would have the time to check this I would do it.

You can't prove, impossible, because not all moves are Fritz' moves. And besides
there are multi-variation-mode etc.

EVIDENCE enough, not only for me, is that a patzer like Allwermann, although he
has DWZ 1926 (~ELO2100) which is ~130 higher than mine, performs ELO2630 in 9
games!
This is impossible without cheating.
