I agree, and by no means wish to imply that Fritz 7 is poor in any way, but he
didn't say it had more chess knowledge than all previous Fritz versions, he said
it had more chess knowledge than "any other top chess program available today".
That means he is affirming (and I don't see how) that it has more chess
knowledge than:
Shredder 6
Junior 7
Tiger 14
Rebel Century 4
Etc.
