I the test i ran Fritz 7 (standard) scored:

vs Shredder 5.32   5.5-4.5
vs Deep Fritz      6.0-4.0
vs CT14.0          5.5-4.5

40/40+40/40+40

This proves nothing, except that there need to be many more games plyed before
drawing any conclusions!!
I think that Fritz 7 (standard) is as good against other engines at longer time
controls, and that (no mmx) does better in faster games.
