Hi, Frank!

Even if I prefer CA to ChessBase, I think a BFF rating list is more interesting
then a "best for ca"-rating list. Because all top programs run under
ChessBase-GUI. Here I do agree with Christian.
But I think it's quite interesting that you here now the word UCI from Christian
for the first time now that Fritz is going to support UCI.
I never read anything about CA in CSS except the review (anything about CA in
the Tips&Tricks?), so information about CA is poor IMO in CSS. But I don't think
the BFF is a good example for this.

Best, Martin
