He plays an interesting tournament but so far only double-rounds between the
programs and his speciality is the interesting comments. I think your 10 round
alternative is an interesting alternative with fast and reliable results.
We plays the same "tournaments" to, but you can be out months before us, it also
give a fast hint what new program to buy. I guess many are especially interested
in the results of Shredder4 and Genius6.5, at least I´m very curious.
Can Shredder4 threaten Tiger12? We all want to know it now, now, now!
No more hesitation!
