Hello Jouni,
I think you will find that Hiarcs is also tactically very good and it's NPS is
about 10% of Fritz.   I am also curious as to which programs solved the most
problems and which one did it in the fastest time.  To me, that is more
important than any NPS measurement.  Especially since programmers can't even
agree on how to count NPS in their programs.
