Hi Jouni,

it is possible that Fritz 6 and now Fritz 7 is optimised for human play.

I believe:

Tactial strength
Fritz 3.000
Shredder 2.900

Positional strength
Fritz 2.300
Shredder 2.400

And 100 ELO more positional strength is better against human because in tactial
games we have maybe 20 programs which are better then Kramnik. But Kramnik is
400 ELO better in positional strength.

I think the best programs have not more as 2.400 ELO in correspondence chess.
Maybe not more then 2.350 ELO ... I don't know.

But this is my private opinion and I think also Fritz is better since version
5.32 in positional strength but not better then Tiger, Shredder and Gandalf.
Maybe Junior is at the moment the best program for strategy and tactic, also
better then Fritz in tactic and startegy but Junior is compare to Gandalf in
endgame not so strong then the others.

Best
Frank
