Sometimes it's humorously modest. I really do hope that Tiger 15 will clearly edge out everything previous, including Fritz, but I also get the feeling that Fritz has edged out all others which are below it. Yes there are others which are very close, but I see, also from other tests at other time levels (and non ssdf) that Fritz seems to be a clear leader, so that if you have only one program and you want to get the truest analysis of a position from a program, then the latest Fritz is the answer. The only problem I did feel about Fritz 7 at the beginning, was that when matched with Junior 7, Junior always crushed Fritz in the first few games, until Fritz recovered and overtook it. So I thought that Fritz was only good because of the learning feature. It WAS strange to me. No one ever answered that up to me. S.Taylor
