I think your poll, which is okay, is just yet another, which is the strongest
engine poll. Everyone will most likkely say fritz, they always do. Given the
SSDF rankings.

Why don't you have a few polls which asks for the best commercial program in
terms of whole package, how about also another one for interface.

I would love to see how many people think chessmaster's interface is the most
nice, I bet most people would still give it to Fritz or the like, simply cause
chessmaster is a cheapo program who can trash the expensive ones. Even though
they are not answering the question asked, is will be Fritz, Rebel, Shredder.

After all we cannot have a cheapo program being rated amoungst the best.

I voted for chessmaster in your poll, so put me down for chessmaster for all
your poll questions.
