Hello Mark

If you are refering to the Fritz Chess Benchmark.exe Program then no. You can
run this program directly without going through Fritz by clicking on it so I
dont think it uses any engine as such other than what is built into the
benchmark.exe program. Therefore 'tweaking' Fritz 9 will make no difference to
your result.

Hope this helps.

Regards

Mike
