For several years Junior, Fritz, and Shredder were all leading the pack, with
Junior usually being ahead. But since Shredder 8 there seems to be a gap between
Shredder and the other two. I'm sure the authors of Fritz and Junior have also
sped up their efforts towards the WCCC, so we expect to see a very interesting
fight there.
