of course.

but why programming as usual when this is the result of the BEST efforts ?

we are totally ssdf-fixed. everybody tries to beat rank 1 instead of trying
new stuff, new ideas that would make the program stronger in the long run.

might be.
but shredder is better in positional stuff.

shredder has a problem here. almost any game at championships shredder
is strangely coming out of book , most often in a disadvantaged situation.

ah come on. i have and know fritz for many many years. seeing it daily
on my machines. its a stupid program.
its fast, this is the reason it wins in ssdf list.
and all the others have to follow this FAST race. otherwise they
don't get the ssdf #1 trophy.

but is THIS good for the progress in computerchess ?

i don't think so. IMO we are making backsteps.
