That may or may not be true, but I honestly doubt that SMK suffers from any
inferiority complexes towards the ChessBase products at this point. The setup as
portrayed on the Millennium site is bogus IMO. That is if the information is
correct.

And if the strongest program can't be found with a reliable method then it
should be the World Champion. A contest solely between Deep Junior and Deep
Fritz doesn't accomplish this goal. In this sense, Frank has a good point.
