I do not see it. The best 4 were commercial programs. Tao (the 5th program) won only weak players and lost most of it's games against the commercial programs. Diep lost all it's game against the commercial programs and the baron only drew with tiger but lost against other commercial programs. Note that Diep drew in the past against Fritz and Shredder. For the baron it is not the first time that it gets a draw against tiger. Uri Uri
