Our Top Ten of PC chess programs Since the release of the latest SSDF Rating List of Feb 22 there has been serious controversy about its validity. The Fritz 5 program has been tested in a special configuration which strongly differs from the generally available product. This inevitably presented a distorted picture of the true conditions. From now on, we are publishing our own Top Ten of chess programs. It is based on the SSDF Rating List but includes currently available programs only. The rating numbers are rounded and correspond with the SSDF ratings based on Pentium MMX 200 computers. place program author hardware Elo 1 - 3 Nimzo '98 C.

Or did they just take this action with out any proof what so ever. If they have proof that the out of box Fritz 5 plays diffrent moves please post the games here.
