The strongest program (Shredder) is no longer sold by ChessBase --> time to put
the propaganda machine in action.

So, now, beating other programs is not important anymore and if Fritz gets
clobbered by an 180k free program this is because it's 'smarter'! It's because
it has so much 'knowledge'!

The new Fritz is not or almost not stronger than the old one where you payed
money for? No really, you can 'feel' it's playing more 'humanlike' instead!

Also handy that the claim of being stronger against humans is almost impossible
to objectively verify.

The really sickening thing is that people will eat this ChessBase propaganda by
the boatloads and report is as facts.
