    As to the King: Chessmaster 9000 has no autoplayer and this is the reason
    why the program has not yet been tested by SSDF. And regarding Fritz8: this
    engine is being tested, but has probably not played enough games so that
    it will be included in the next list. Anyway, I do not think that your
    assumptions are correct.
