When attacking a king seriously (of course we attack the king) load your Chess
Tiger, When evaluating end position with (passed pawns) use amateur engines
(Crafty and Yace will do) for patient/active attacker in middle game use Junior
and Shredder. Fritz can do all of the above averagely. There are many engines
you can experiment yourself.
Engines have their own weaknesses and strengths, just like us.
