I suspect Rebel is either the program you want or very close to it. You might also look at Chess Genius to round out your collection. This is a really neat program, incredibly strong and although many folks hate its boring style you will not see it making very many weak moves. I have a theory that Genius is the very strongest chess program you could own if you do not consider the opening book. I think a few other top programs have better books but Genius is in the top group no matter what. I'm guessing that the programs that use a pre-processor may benefit somewhat less with overnight searches. Unfortunately I believe Genius makes heavy use of pre-processor but I do not know this for sure. I also believe Rebel either does not use this, or uses it sparingly. Maybe Ed will correct me if I'm wrong. - Don
