This is the way Rolf believes the SSDF list should be ordered:
(From a previous post in this thread)
"
it would help a lot if you would take a look into some stats readers. I am not
inventing opinions, I am talking about simple basics, laymen often forget. That
is also why it is not possible to adopt a certain routine out of the context of
a whole method and then do some calculations and whoopie preseting the winner. I
repeat the actual results - given in the list itself  - does NOT allow to
present Shredder as number one. Also: if SSDF understood what they were doing
they had done a presentation of the sort 1.-3. are... Then Shredder could well
be named in the first place. 1.-3. Shredder, Fritz, Fritz

Rolf Tueschen
"
Of course, when the number and result of games could statistically separate the
programs strength reasonably beyond the margin of error, then a #1, etc., could
be and should be dutifully reported.
