I have performed some tournaments on a P200MMX at 5min/game:
The results are very similar. F5.32 has won ALL tournaments including those at
which only the strongest engines took part.
1 Fritz 5.32 2687 37
2 Fritz 5.00 2601 35
3 Fritz 3.10 2594 7
4 Hiarcs 6.0 2462 36
5 Crafty 16.1 2428 20
6 Fritz 1.20 2417 15
7 Comet A96 2374 14
8 Doctor? 3.0 2365 21

So far, my impression is that Fritz 5.32 is by far the strongest engine in
blitz! Maybe this holds on tournament time controls, too. Look at the ratings of
Fritz 5.00, Junior 5.0 and HIARCS 6.0: almost the same as on the SSDF list!!! I
think the new leader of the next list (if included) will be Fritz 5.32. My first
impression is that Fritz 5.32 play more aggressive than Fritz 5.00 and has
deeper positional understanding without loosing tactical strength.
The new GUI features are great, but even in the Dec. update there are many bugs.
Especially with the calculation of scores and the human games in engine
tournaments. Often the GUI forgets the time controls. Instead of 5/game, I had
to play 5s av. (These games are not evaluated in the list above!). Often the
engine simply does not move in these cases! Many of the new functions seem to be
very unstable. It seems more to be beta version. Nevertheless, I think it will
be one of my favourite chess programs. It is fun to ply against so much
different opponents in a computer tournament! FJ
