Mark, if I remember correctly, you recently told me the SSDF's rating system was
very sound. Has your position on that changed? If not, how would you explain
Fritz 5.32 being number 1?

Of course the difference between the top three is very small and relatively
insignificant, but if you feel so strongly that Hiarcs 7 is better than Fritz
5.32, the SSDF testing will not back you up. Furthermore, their testing of
Hiarcs 7 against Fritz 5.32 in 40 games reveals a score of Fritz 22 and Hiarcs
18. This is not an indication of Hiarcs supremacy over Fritz
