Perhaps S5 is not the best engine in match play, it's a better engine in
Tournament Play.  There's a big difference in match play and tournament play,
for example, Botvinnik was not the best player in tournament play, he was very
tough in Match Play, the same can be said of Victor Korchnnoi, he was a great
tournament player, he won many international tournaments, and he has the best
record in tournament play, however, when it comes to match play, he failed to
win these type of contests.  This could be the case with S5, it's just an
observation, the SSDF shows that Deep Fritz is current the best chess engine in
match play, however, Deep Fritz finished second to S5 in the last computer
tournament play this year.
