Subject: Fritz 5.32 v Fritz 5.16

Does anyone really know whether F5.32 or F5.16 is stronger? I had assumed
that the 32-bit engine was at least slightly stronger but there have been
several posts at this site suggesting otherwise.
Some have questioned which is stronger based on specific positions that
are solved faster or better by F5.16. The Selective Search list(Hallsworth}
has F5.32 ahead of F5.16 but not by much. I am not aware of any other
ratings list or tournaments featuring both of these versions. Are there
any?
My inclination is to believe that the best measure of playing strength is
the actual playing of games rather than solving specific problem positions.
So, does anyone have any examples of their relative performances in actual
games?
