As this is currently impossible, then 2) I do play ALL my games under the same conditions. If I play Chess Tiger 11.5 vs Fritz 5.32 etc. and then later Chess Tiger 12.0 agianst the same opponents, I can get a very good data to compare. One sure can argue about those time management questions and effect of PB in guessing the opponet's moves and saving own time. That is correct. But I can compare my results with those played on two computers with PB on and there is no great difference. If Tiger is great at my tests, it is great at those games too. One may take my results just as answer to question: "which one of top programs is the best at "pure" 60 minutes for all moves. And one may name the best one a "Half-brained Champion". No problem. All I have is a big love for chess and one computer to play my games on. Take it or leave it. Have a great chess! Didzis Cirulis
