I know results from over 1.200 games. I think this is enough to say it is one of the best programs. I don`t know the new Chessmaster and saw not enough games. Nimzo 8 and Junior 6 are very strong but I think Fritz, Gandalf, Tiger and Shredder are better. Rebel Century is also very strong, here I believe that the other 4 programs are stronger. I am not sure ! Gandalf has problems against Century and Shredder (44-48% with longer time controls). Problems against Chess Tiger (48%) not against Gambit-Tiger and all other TOP programs with longer time controls and an fast PC. But all other TOP programs have problems against different other TOP programs, I think this is interesting. Nimzo 8 started at the moment in my CCE tourney. After 5:3 against Comet B.27, now 3.5 : 2.5 against Crafty 17.14. More results coming soon. I think Nimzo 8.0 is not one of the best programs. Gandalf has also not very big problems against all Nimzo versions. But all these programs are very intersting. >It seems to me that the competition at the top is closer than ever .

The best program against a good GM is a programs which play good in tactical positions and good in attack chess. LCT-II test: Gandalf is number 1 ! GS-2930 test: Gandalf solved 10 problems, I believe under the top 3 ! BS-2930 test: Over 2.700 ELO and I believe under the top 3 ! Gandalf plays the best attack chess from all programs which I saw, have a lot of knowledge and so I have the opinion that Gandalf is a good program for a match against a SUPER GM ! I am sure, so I can write this ... no problem ! Best Frank
