Here are my rating results for the programs running on Fritz 6. I only show
comet B11 a bit stronger then comet B10. Comet is a good program, but it is not
in the same class as Fritz, Junior, and Hiarcs, and still lags far behind the
the other great free bee program crafty.

(overall results from tournament play - from g/5 to 40/2hrs.)
1	Fritz 6		        2498	140
2	Junior 5.0		2484	121
3	Hiarcs 7.32		2480	102
4	Fritz 5.32		2474	84
5	Crafty 16.6		2462	45
6	Crafty 16.18		2460	103
7	Crafty 16.15		2440	43
8	Fritz 5.00/16Bit	2431	67
9	Crafty 17.04		2416	54
10	Hiarcs 4.0		2416	50
11	Crafty 16.13		2403	52
12	Crafty 15.18		2384	44
13	Hiarcs 6.0		2361	63
14	Comet B11		2337	31
15	Comet B10		2332	50
16	Comet B02		2297	45
