I think this would be different, depending on how strong the opponents are. I wouldn't be surprised, if Fritz were best against 2300+ elo players. But against "weaker", or lets say less godlike players, Rebel or CSTal II could have a higher score. The aggressive style of CSTal for example, although - maybe - not always of such a conservative computer exactness, brings trouble to opponents which are not 100% tactical wizards. One sub-optimal defensive move, and the human is lost - but to provoke such errors, a certain style is neccessary. Unfortunately, most often the relative strength is judged by games of programs against each other only, but their ability profile is much different from a human's.
