Many thanks to you adn all the SSDF testers. Your endless work to keep the flame
alive is very much appreciated by the community.
A hearty congratulations to Fabien's fantastic result. And a congratulations to
Franz for the continued and steady progress in Fritz, finally managing to pull
ahead of Shredder, even if only to discover a new nemesis to beat. :-)
Now, with Hiarcs 10, Rybka 1.2 to arrive, and the new Smarthink, the landscape
of the top spots has been irreversibly changed it seems. And it is the users who
can celebrate.
