Fritz did not start with 4 programs.

They started with only one program.
It used 4 processors but it is not 4 programs.
other programs also used more than one processor and most of them did not do
good result.

Diep also used 4 processors and it did not help it.
Zugzwang and P.conners had better hardware and it did not help them.

You also said that using 4 proccesors can also make fritz see draws faster
but I did not see draws for fritz only wins and losses.

It is not clear to me if CStal is more intelligent
In the game that you posted here of Cstal against Fritz the draw scores of Fritz
were more correct than the unrealistic scores of Cstal.

The final position is a draw by tablebases.

Fritz showed in this position -8.xx score against itself but it is only because
of the fact that Fritz does not use tablebases.
