They got better result relative to the previous championship. In the previous championship they lost inspite of better hardware. In this championship it was not the case. Junior had inferior hardware and if you include Sos then it suffered from even inferior hardware and lack of the KQP vs KQ tablebases. > >they have not bad progams at all, but they are not better than >the programs of their opponents. otherwise the opponents would not >win the championships all day long. We cannot be sure about it. The results suggest that shredder is better than Fritz but they suggest also that Fritz is better than the other programs including Rebel and tiger. Before the tournament I guessed that Fritz is the best but I also gave a big probability that it is number 3 or number 4. Now the probability that I give for it to be number 1 is smaller but the probabilities that I give to it to be number 3 or number 4 are also smaller. Consequence:There is no big change in my opinion about Fritz after the tournament and it is not clear if the change for Fritz is positive or negative I think that the result is not a success for chessbase but it is also not a failure.
