I do not think that the readers forget it.
I think that they simply do not believe that the eval function of DB is
stronger.

I think that the reason is that they were not impressed by the public games of
DB or DB Jr.

  Also, as Larry Kaufman has

a highly developed one like Fritz???

If you do the test of setting commercials to X kn/sec then I do not expect Fritz
to have very good results.

I think that Hiarcs7 or CM6000 are clearly better in this test.
