In the interests of scientific inquiry, I tried this out on Fritz. Obviously I'm not as good a player as you because so far all 100 games have ended in a draw. I'm feel I'm improving though. In one game I was close to a win but overlooked a stunning defence in time-trouble and lost my remaining queen, two rooks, knight and five pawns. I can only admire your clearly superior chess skills. If you post the games, I'm sure we can all learn much from them. Your eager disciple, John.
