What? I was merely asking a question here; I was not slammimg Fritz. If you had
seen previous posts of mine, you would know I have defended Fritz against what I
would call unfair testing. By the way, I don't state which program is tops - I
simply do not have the answer to that one. I just like to see equal testing - as
equal as possible - and that is all.

The relevance of Fritz running on better hardware, if that is the case, would
have some meaning in its match against Hiarcs, wouldn't you agree?
