Low speed?

120/40 for 1200 Mhz AMD with ponder on is clearly higher level than 40/40 for 2
ghz with ponder off(CEGT conditions).

I do not see reason to defend Fritz.
People who complain probably never tested it at slow time control and tested it
mainly at blitz.

It is possible that the picture in blitz is simply different and blitz on faster
hardware is not equivalent to 120/40 on A1200

Note that comparing results of CEGT with SSDF also does not make sense because
conditions are different.

Different opening book
Different ponder on/ponder off

This may be enough to explain slightly different results.
