As I recall though this Fritz used was never the same as the released
version.

Fritz 6 is and has been first now since it first appeared on the SSDF's lists.
IMHO there is no doubt it has been No 1 for the last year. These other tourneys
are all fine and dandy but would you rather be No 1 overall or win odd
tournaments. It's GUI IMHO is also No 1 naturally as with everything there are
things one may want but objectively it is still the best.
