I do not know if Fritz6 is the best program to win with a queen odd.

The best program to win a game is not the same as the best program to win weak
opponents with a queen odd.

I have also no idea about the rating of Portorose 16bit.

I do not think that it is possible to win with a queen odd every 10 years and I
believe that it is impossible to win the top programs of today at tournament
time control with a queen odd and the way that you play is not relevant.

I read some years ago in new in chess about a human(1800 rating) who won Fritz3
in 10 minutes/game with a rook odd but he did not tell how many games he played
in order to achieve the win.
