Fritz 7 differs not too much from Fritz 6. Deep Fritz 7 and Deep Fritz 6, you won't tell anybody that's "two completely different programs". Brazil can have 10 or more soccer teams to fight at FIFA's championships or World Cups, the same for Argentina (don't really know if there are too many good german-borned soccer players). But that obviously would make the ranking much boring. My question is: WHY SSDF doesn't have at the same list Crafty 16.01 - 16.19 + 17.x + 18.x + 19... ? what's the difference in rating points between them? I don't see where the nonsense is. For me it's nonsense to have a list with 10 Fritzes and call that a serious list. If you don't play Fritz a x Fritz b you're not a serious chess player; but if you do and Fritz n wins rating points you're inflating the rating. So the whole thing is messed up, I think. Do that at a chess server and you'll be in the abuser list! SSDF list, is it a _S_hredder/_D_eep _F_ritz list? Can't believe there's just to much marketing involved just to sell Fritz. Why not Century, Century 2, 3, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 4, XP ? Will SSDF test Ruffian? What about Yace? What's the interest in "R30 v 2.5", with a gap of almost 200 points below Crafty? Why the hell CHESSMASTER _NEVER_, I mean _NEVER_ gets to run with Athlon 1200 ? Just questions made by many people that were never answered. Don't tell that's because "fixing the hardware and playing many games with it, you'll know the strengh". Please give CM 9000, Hiarcs and Nimzo a good hardware, point. Please retire that R30 v 2.5, it's completely obsolete. A. Ponti
