I copied the article from 'El Pais' without adding or substracting anything. I
suppose that Leontxo Garcia, a very prestigious chess journalist in my country,
deliberately ommited the name(s) of the chess program(s) because he probably
writes in this newspaper for a general reader (not necessarily familiar with
Fritz, Shredder,...) and besides, and more important, because the analyses of
his chess software weren't right.
