For other >opinions, one could check Anand's, for instance, who has been quite explicit. 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. Sarah.
