But don't forget that SSDF-matches are HIGHLY influenced by learning which does not play a role in tournaments like the WCCC. Fritz does not convince me at all although being #1 in SSDF for a long time now. Looking at the games I have seen Fritz play and the evals Fritz gave I'd rather consider Fritz to have the best learning function. The superiority of Fritz which is suggested in the SSDF list does not exist IMO. There are several other programs which show a better chess understanding.
