OK, OK.  I was not fair to either of the programs for not using a larger book,
and for not using Crafty's natural environs:  running the match on two computers
with pondering on, Crafty's proprietary book, etc.  However, I thought that
Crafty's running on a multiprocessor unit would make up for some of the
disadvantages.  I still think that this score has some validity.  How about
another score in which the very same Fritz 6 annihilated Little Goliath 2000b by
something like 47:3?  Trust me, Fritz 6 is as good as any other blitzer,
including Hiarcs 7.32 and Fritz 5.32.

What do you guys think:  would one of the Fritzes (5.32 or 6) be able to come up
as No.1 on ICC at blitz?
