Yes, I agree. The most important competition is the Championship. Who said that
most programmers do not think the same?
The reason why most programmers seems not to agree is because they did not win!
If you are rated no. 1 in the SSDF then this is more important. If they win the
Championship than that is more important.
I am saying always the same. I was saying the same even when I was not World
Champion!

The SSDF has 2 main problems:

1. Not all programs are tested!
2. The hardware they use in not updated.

Also in the SSDF the learning feauture is important. I think Fritz has the
better learning feature, but this will still be true with the new Shredder 6.0?

We'll see.
