I don't think Deep Fritz is a "rather moderate" programme. Its hard to shine so
well in a tourny liked the WCCC. It scored 6/9 and came 4th. If you look at more
games like the SSDF list where Fritz 7 has played many games and was top of the
list last time, you will see that it accually much stronger than it looked in
the WCCC.

Both the K vs Comp matches will be a challenge for both the programmers and the
Grandmasters. What would be nice is they would play K vs K and the Comp vs Comp
matches for comparison :-)
