I think that you confuse between rating against humans and rating against
computers.

Fritz is weaker against humans mainly because of the fact that it is the most
popular chess program so players know more about it's weaknesses.

I talked with one of the players who played against computers in the Israeli
league.
He told me that he prepared against Fritz6 when he did not prepare against
another program that he played against it.
