My results on one computer have not shown this. I see this type of stuff all the
time when some people post results by it on one computer or two. How knowns how
they test or if they are showing the real and accurate results. I can only say I
have seen nothing to say that you can not get accurate results with the
chessbase interface playing it on one computer. If the data was scewed in a big
way I would see it and it would not match up with my two computer results or
other reliable two computer results.
