I agree that Junior5 is not the best against humans because it sometimes does
stupid queen moves  when it is out of book early(it may play after 1.d4 d5 2.c3
the move Qd6).

It is not important against programs because they do not try to get Junior out
of book early but it may be important against humans.

I think that crafty16.6 may be the best program against humans and programs.

It won 2.5:.5 against Rebel10C in 1 hour per move games and ed told us in the
rebelboard that it had a won position in the 4rd game that was lost.


 MCP and Rebel, maybe the King may be better against humans
>but they are weaker against programs.

I do not agree that the king2.61 is weaker against programs.
 It is not good at blitz but I do not know about bad results of it against
programs at tournament time control.
