According to the Bff rating list Fritz 6 is rated at 2700 so it should more than
hold its own against any of the programs you mentioned. I do agree with the
general gist of your post as never before have we had access to this many really
strong amateurs. This is truly the golden age of computer chess!

By the way you forgot List 512 also rated at 2700+ and free.
