(and not the upcoming patch for Tiger)? 3)Was Deep Fritz done on a singal proccessor? I would also wonder why Shredder 5.0 did so badly. Although I believe it could have been possible for Shredder 5.0 and Chess Tiger 13 to change places, as CT13 still seems to have some weaknesses according to some experiments (like certain settings from, if I remember correctly, Fritz 6a), but the upcoming patch may leave it at top place for all the coming year, because, when weaknesses are corected, at this level, it's increasingly harder to find and exploit further smaller weaknesses. And if Hiarcs XY is a test version, it hasn't been developed properly yet. Maybe It hasn't been easy to improve upon Hiarcs 7.---, hence all the delays. S.Taylor
