I believe that Fritz5 came only later to top the ssdf nut I may be wrong. The question is if Fritz5 was available at the time of the match. I remember that Fritz5 failed in a tournament in paris half year after the match. I do not know when Fritz5 got to the top of the ssdf in the first time but I believe that it was only after the match. There were some commercial programs at similiar strength to Genius at the time of the match but I believe that not more than it. Uri
