I understand the limitations of using patches or upgraded engs in ratings but the point is that people take this to mean Fritz 6a the version as rated and tested by the SSDF, when this is not the case. Shredder 5 may indeed turn out to be 100 greater, I don't have a copy so can't really say with any certainty. But I can say that I honestly doubt whether even one year from now any program will prove to be 100 points better than Fritz 6a. Sarah.
