Deep Fritz comes out and doesn't have a rating, so it should be played against programs with a rating? Well I don't see Crafty 18.xx on the list, why wouldn't you test that version as well. This is possibly another commercial vs freeware issue again. I guess only the commercial programs are worthy of having their latest and greatest version tested. It is just a shame to base a rating against programs that are significantly weaker than the current version. Hell isn't that what is happening here? Give the commercial product from Chessbase a high rating via the match scores vs weaker versions of todays programs? I think so. Why not match today's best vs today's best. Not today's best vs last year's best. Do you think I care whether the 2001 Grand Am from Pontiac can crush the crap out of the 1991 Grand Am? No.. I care how it holds a candle to today's competition.
