Anyway, the general audience will believe what the press says.
And the press definitely HAS tomatoes in its eyes.

Fritz is strong, and it does not need to win tournaments. Tournaments are random
events.
The 3 or 4 top programs (as tested by the SSDF) are so close in strength that it
is impossible to say which one is the best anyway.
But that was last year's generation. We will see what happens with the new
generation (Junior 7, Fritz 7 and Tiger 15).
