Junior and Fritz are not more stupid than Shredder or Hiarcs or Gandalf.
The number of nodes per second is totally irrelevant.

I see from my analysis of my correspondence games that there are cases when Deep
Fritz has a better evaluation function than the "positional" programs.

I also remember games from Enrique's tournament when Deep Fritz won games
against Gandalf not because of tactics but because of a good positional
sacrifice of Deep Fritz that Gandalf did not understand.
