Crystal ball and information I have read here, propaganda listed on the
Chessbase website and tournament results listed on various chess sites.
There just seems to be a lot of buzz about Shredder 7 so I picked it first.
Fritz 8 has probably been tweaked just enough to edge out your Tiger. Junior 8
needs to make up a lot of ground that it's predecessor gave up to reach the top.
And since Deep Fritz 7 is the "oldest" of the bunch, and seems to be outmatched
by your Tiger, I ranked it fifth.
