1)I think that there is not a whole team of professionals who are working on
Fritz but only a single person is working about the engine.

2)I see no improvement in Fritz in the ssdf from Fritz7 to Fritz8 so the
programmer obviously did not do much about improving the ssdf rating so the
excuse of the ssdf is not convincing.
