By your definition I think we only have four professional programs left: Fritz, Junior, Shredder and Tiger. When we are talking strongest availlable amateurs we are probably talking Yace currently. The four above should have some chance to be 50-100 points ahead - but I know of no other. I think if you narrow the definition for the professionals even further as you did in another post ( commercial success) we are left with three commercial programs only. pete
