I suspect that it is Fritz6light because I know that terry in the past wrote
Fritz6 when the right name was Fritz6light.

The point of my post in the general chess forum was not to say that testing
against old programs is meaningless but to say that you cannot get into
conclusion about which program is best by this method.

You can clearly learn that Rebel and tiger are better than older versions of the
same programs by this test  and you can learn that it is better than the
commercial programs of today so the testing is not meaningless but you cannot
use the results to say which program is the best program to buy.

My post was in response to the question which program is best and I meant to say
that it is not fair to say that Rebel or tiger is best when we have not enough
information to know.
