Uri and Otello, could you please share your analysises? To me it seems like a given that Fritz would be crushed in a match against DB and that DBs eval is at least not worse. DB has an overwhelming NPS advantage *and* the possibility to do complex eval for free in hardware *and* PhDs and grandmasters that worked on the algorithms, eval, book etc. If you really think that Fritz can stand up to what they accomplished, I'd like to see what you base that on.
