Not only that shouldn't they test Wchess,Zarkov,Mephisto,Chess Genius it makes sense as these programs did well against Deep Thoughtthe point being if Program Deep Fritz Beats Wchess,Zarkov,Mephisto,Chess Genius Deep Fritz is as Strong if not better than Deep Thought? Isn't this the point of a ratings list to begin with? Then again Program X can be beaten by Wchess,Zarkov,Mephisto,Chess Genius but beats Deep Fritz gee this isn't an exact science. Your thoughts...
