CSTal might not have been the strongest program, it *is* true that it had an
uncompromising attacking style and was the most attacking program of it's time.
Regardless of strenght, such a character trait can IMHO be a very worthwhile
feature of a program.
Funnily enough, the article goes out to say that Fritz doesn't have any specific
style ("pure"), but just does whatever is the strongest. The contradiction with
the statements earlier is another nice example of propaganda instead of facts.
