If fritz7 is only almost 50 rating points better then fritz7 is probably not the program with the best chance to win because I believe Marcus Kästner that other programs are at least 50 elo better than fritz6. Only almost 50 elo will be a disappointment because I expected more after reading Amir's post because almost 50 elo improvement is not a rare improvement when you release your next version and there are examples when the improvement is bigger. Examples: Junior6 is more than 50 elo better than Junior5 Fritz6 is more than 50 elo better than Fritz5.32. Uri
