I do not think that not trying new stuff is the way to beat number 1.
Not everybody tries to beat rank 1.

I think that a very small number of programmers think about it and the other
only try to improve their program because they know they have no chance to be
number 1 in the ssdf at least in the near future.

I do not think that they do not teach their program new stuff because of Fritz



Here is some analysis of Yace0.99.56

Yace does not understand the position and believes that the position is almost
equal(-0.06) even after a long search

I do not think that the reason for it is a decision of dieter not to try new
stuff because of the fact that Fritz is a fast searcher.

I do not think that Dieter really believes that he has a chance to top the ssdf
in the near future.

I do not believe it.
It wins the ssdf because other programs are also stupid.

You can see that a lot of other programs know nothing here.

No

Except Tiger and maybe Rebel or next Junior they do not have a chance to get the
ssdf #1 trophy so I do not think that they consider the ssdf in their reasons.

I  can also add that most programmers develop programs that are not tested by
the ssdf and today they are at least 200 elo weaker than Crafty.
