Frist off yes I can quesion SSDF.  when did I say I played a couple of
games.
But thats not the point. You would think with a 50+ point rating spread
Fritz 5
would show more dominance in my testing. If and when it does I will say
so.
This is just my opinion at this time with the data I have. Remember I am
not the only one who has not noticed the dominance of Fritz5. There are
many games to be played and many tourneys for Fritz to play in. So with
more data my mind or maybe yours will be changed. Please remember I am
not attacking Fritz5. I like the program very much. I just dont think
its the strongest program out.
