Fritz has played against stronger opposition than any other program on
the current SSDF list (February 1998). Average opponent SSDF-ELO rating
was 2463 and Fritz cannot play against the strongest program on that
list - itself - which increases the SSDF-ELO average of all those
programs that have played against Fritz.

All other P200MMX programs on the SSDF list have also played against
opponents on weaker hardware.

So exactly the opposite of what Thorsten hinted at is true.

After having been asked here a few days ago if it would be advisable to
return Fritz because of its weak playing strength, I see that the
anti-Fritz campaign has already reached some of its goals. Considering
this, I find the below allegations irresponsible and most disreputable.

Go figure ...
