I am absolutely sure that neither the best program in tactics nor the program with the most knowledge will climb the mountain. It is the program with the best mixture of knowledge, tactical abilities and strategy/plan considering the possibility of realisation of those plans. > And I wouldn't agree it has been tested properly against humans yet either. >Against humans I think it needs much more testing than against other programs, >since humans are moving objects.

Junior like MCP and Rebel play powerful and in most cases know how to put pressure on the opponent. So these programs are hard opponents for humans because humans often fail in finding the best defense. That makes the named programs so dangerous for humans.
