I do not see reason to defend Fritz. People who complain probably never tested it at slow time control and tested it mainly at blitz. It is possible that the picture in blitz is simply different and blitz on faster hardware is not equivalent to 120/40 on A1200 Note that comparing results of CEGT with SSDF also does not make sense because conditions are different. Different opening book Different ponder on/ponder off This may be enough to explain slightly different results. Uri
