Hi Bertil,

In fact, Junior 6a won the last Cadaqués tournament. Fritz ended second, but as
close to the first as it was in the last WCCC in London.

Junior 6a      73/120
Fritz 6a       69/120
Nimzo 7.32     64.5/120
Rebel Tiger    61/120
Hiarcs 7.32    57/120
Shredder 4     55/120
Century       40.5/120

But there is something else I never quite understood:

I have and like Century 3, Gambit and Tiger, and I also like Deep Fritz and
Shredder 4.x and others. And-And-And. Why should it be and/or? Why is it
necessary for some to shoot at other programs in order to praise the oh so great
chosen one?

As for Fritz, doubting its competence either in its GUI or in its ability to
play strong chess is, in my opinion, on the verge of the grotesque. For other
opinions, one could check Anand's, for instance, who has been quite explicit.
