Shredder tops the computer rankings – again!
28.05.2003 This must be a bit alarming for Fritz. For the second time in a row
Shredder has topped the SSDF (Chess Computer Association) ranking list, based on
over 90,000 games played by 253 computers. Interestingly, the first program that
is not published by ChessBase is ranked number 14. Blush.

I think it's a bit rich that they claim the top 13 positions, bearing in mind
the King is not being tested and Rebel is only in position 14 because there are
multiple versions of Shredder, Fritz and Chess Tiger.

I do not feel that the list portrays engine strength very objectively.  I'm all
for another list.
