Super-Forte C was FASTER in finding key-moves but overall weaker in tactics (I do guess Super-Forte C had more/better extensions). often people mix this up. because they run test suites and prg finds faster so they believe: wow - it is stronger. but this is wrong. it is only faster in finding key moves. but this is not the thing you need for tactics in a game. when you see a program often oversee tactics in GAMES where no keymove is, than this is IMO the real "better tactics". test-suites do often not measure this behaviour.
