I do not know what version of Fritz was used.  Since it supported multiple
CPUs it could be quite experimental.  I do not think there is enough
evidence to make any conclusion simply based on Fritz' hardware.  And
frankly the fact that multiple CPUs are supported is a strong feature
that Hiarcs needs to get as well.

All of which supports my conclusion, namely that with existing evidence the
greatest likelihood is that the programs are all rather close in strength,
and Tania's results, enthusiasm notwithstanding, show a flawed testing
method.
