Take a look at the SSDF statistics:
Fritz has dominated the SSDF list since 1998. Since then 30 lists have been
published, and Fritz was in first place in 20 of these lists. It's closest
rivals were Shredder (three times first place) and Tiger (twice). Here are the
statistics on how many times each program has been first:

Fritz 20
Shredder 3
Tiger 2
Junior 1
Hiarcs 1
Rebel 1
Chessmaster 1

In reality since the last 30 lists have been published in only two occasions a
non chessbase product has won. Therefore, chessbase will always benefit it sales
regardless if Fritz, Shredder, Tiger, Junior, or Hiars wins. Not to mentioned
Rebel and CM are not being tested, and if they decides to give ChessMaster an
autoplayer and CM wins in the future, then Chessbase will adquire the right to
sale CM and continue the trend.
