Fritz beated deep thought in the last WCCC.

Deep thought is clearly slower then deeper blue(I read that it is 100
times slower)

It is also not the same program that played against kasparov

The same Fritz that beated deep thought(Fritz3) is clearly not number 1.
Many programs beated Fritz3 in matches.

I believe that Fritz is not going to be number 1 in the WCCC.
There are some programs that are better than Fritz in WCCC.

I expect some amaturs like dark thought to have a better result than Fritz.
