At least in the case of Falcon the programmer did not claim that it is one of
the top 3 engines.

He used the Fritz8's book for Falcon in his tests and he even did not claim that
in these conditions Falcon is better than Fritz or Junior.

Shredder 8 is the only engine that consistently scores above 50% does not mean
that Deep Fritz8 or Junior8 cannot do it but only that they did not do it in all
of his tests.
