If programs were that Bad, no way fritz could have took fifth place in >the dutch championship, your statement seems ludicrous to me. There is a difference between scoring points in competition, and determining the "truth" of a position. I think it's quite possible that a class B player may understand some strategical/positional ideas better than a program. In a head to head contest, the B player (and stronger players as well) will lose almost all the time anyway, because of tactical errors. That doesn't mean, though, that he should blindly trust the program's evaluation if there is no clear tactical solution. IMHO Programs are still great analysis tools. Just don't assume that they catch everything. Marc
