You ignore the not commercial programs.

I expect that at least one of the non commercial is going to be in the top 3.

There are some good non commercial programs:
1)Ferret
2)Dark thought
3)Chess tiger
4)P.Conners (can get 1.2 million nodes per second when it runs on a parallel
machine with 60 pentiums

I will be surprised if noone of them is going to be in the top 3.

I believe that fritz has no chance to be number 1 unless they changed it to be a
not root processor.
