Yes, exactly - bff means "best for fritz". Why Fritz? Because the Gui supports
more of the top-10 engines than any other GUI, f.ex. fritz5/6/7, junior4/5/6/7,
hiarcs4/6/7/8, nimzo8, 2xtiger, shredder6, goliath xp and light, a.s.o.

Thats an very easy and clear point what some people refused to understand!
