Subject: Fritz Vote: Newbie Puzzled

Author: Marc Plum

Date: 17:48:12 04/09/98


I have no intention of participating in the "Fritz Vote", because I am
sure that I will not have sufficient understanding of the issues
involved to have a reasonable opinion.  I believe I have read all the
posts on this subject up to now, however, and I do have some questions.

What is going on here?  Is this just a debate over the fairness of SSDF
rating procedures? Is it a serious debate over the comparative strength
of the top commercial programs?  Or is this chess politics of some kind?
If so, what are the issues?

If I had been following this newsgroup longer, perhaps I would know the
answers to these questions.  Sorry if I am rehashing old issues.  But
remember, there will always be new people looking around and wondering
what is going on, and I really don't understand why anyone would want to
put this to a "vote".
