Some aren't happy with Fritz at #1. Others aren't happy with no public autoplayer from Fritz although no one said a thing about genius 4 which also had no public autoplayer + a different version for SSDF testing. I think it is simply too emotional an issue. I've been on top of the computer chess heap. I've been near the bottom. I've been everywhere in between. The sun still rises tomorrow, and I still have just as much fun today as I did when my program played it's very first move in 1968...
