Add this result to your games and >you need to play another 100 games to choose a winner! >It´s never enough games. > >Bertil Hello Bertil, You are right of course. I have played over 10,000 games in the last 15 months of auto232 mode. Mostly at blitz/bullet of course but I have some 40/2 and game/60 also. The only thing this proves is they are so close it will take thousands of games to see which comes out on top. Actually Fritz 5.32 is a pretty good blitzer but not quite equal to Hiarcs 7.32 at less than 2 min/game. Hiarcs 7.32 at Game/1 min is unequaled. I don't know what the secret is but other programmers should be trying to figure it out. Jim Walker
