I don't know if it is 50 Elo points stronger, I agree it is stronger in Blitz by
50 elo. It is even better then Tiger it seems at blitz speeds. I started testing
the new version of Fritz 7 at Fide standard time controls 90'+30". So far
ChessTiger is beating Fritz 7 +3 -0 =3. I will have to run many games to get
good data for Fritz 7, but its not starting out well for Fritz 7.

As I remember it lost the first 5 games to Junior 7, but came back to beat
Junior7. So who knows...I don't see many people testing Fritz 7 at slow times
controls with this new version. Would like to see more games....
