Ok, I got it it work. I pasted a FEN(?) notation into Fritz, and then
had it run in Shootout mode. The results so far for Near Chess are
interesting. 3 AIs, 3 different approaches to openings. Zillions
like to move the rooks to the back row to start. ChessV brings the
knights behind the king and queen, and Fritz drops the king behind the
king's bishop as its first move. Will need to try Near vs Normal in
Fritz to see what the results are.
