The second reason is that Steen say that Gandalf have the most problems in his test games against Fritz. Furthermore, Fritz is in my opinion at the moment the best chess program. OK, the new Tiger and maybe the new King and the WM Shredder 5 are very interesting. But I have not the new version from Shredder, King and Tiger. So I have interest to see games Gandalf against Fritz ! Frans Morsch say in Leiden that the new Fritz version is a lot of ELO stronger then Fritz 6a. When Frans say Fritz is stronger is Fritz stronger. Very interesting is now the next generation. Marcus Kaestner say the same ! Also interesting Nimzo 8, Rebel and ... Gandalf 4.32f ! The question for me is: What make the professionals that programs with an high level plays in a new version with 50 ELO more. I thinking in the last years the amateurs are better and better and the different to the professionals are not so big and now the professionals new versions are maybe 50 or more ELO stronger ? We will see ! Best Frank
