I agree... if Fritz6 allowed you to identify a group of engines (say F6, F5.32,
Hiarcs, Junior, Nimzo or whatever compatible engines you have) and it would
randomly select one WITHOUT letting you know which (perhaps with its own book
too), that would probably be it's #1 new feature!

Also, I would love for a program to analyze a game and flag moves not just by a
numeric score (best line vs. actual move) or ambiguous verbal fluff, but by
spelling out *why* the best move is +.83 and your actual move is only +.21 (e.g.
"King is weakened, -.23; mobility lessened, -.15; Knight on worse square, -.18"
etc.).  The program would basically be verbally interpreting it's eval function.
 I think it would be a great learning aid.
