Gandalf suffered from a learning bug and lost the same opening twice against
Junior because the learning is destroyed.
I believe that the same happened against other programs.

I think that the real ssdf rating of gandalf should be better because the bug
was corrected and I understood that the bug appears only when you stop games
played by the autoplayer and is not relevant for the customer.

I do not say that it is better than Fritz6a but I believe that it is better than
the rating that it got.
