I agree with the question. I don't really get it either, but there are one or
two interesting things about it.
 I wonder if Gambit Tiger (the weaker of the Tigers) will nevertheless come top.
 But I don't see any point in playing Deep Fritz on a single proccessor.
Anyway, I too would like to see the above mentioned 3 programs added. (and
Fritz, either on two proccessors, or simply Fritz 6a.
