Why a chessplayer should test FRITZ against ZAPPA? Give me one good reason, Uri.
A good chessplayer plays against chessprograms and knows how strong they are.
From the view of human chess it is uninteresting to know what chess engine beats
another  because the results are all insignificant. When you've a significant
result the next version of the programs is on the market. Do you have a single
serious argument that could address my verdict? Which isn't "mine" but from
science.
