I read some of the posts on this question and sit back and laugh. Any real chess player who has played many games of chess with computers KNOWS THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE between chess programs with respect to human style. Talk of scientific proof of this is as silly as trying to prove that the great painters created works of art. THE COMPUTER STYLE IS TO PLAY TO OPEN THE POSITION AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY AND WIN BY BRUTE FORCE TACTICS ALONE! There is no attention paid to bad bishops, knight outposts, pawn structure chess, etc. Any class A or better player can spot the difference. Hiarcs 7.32 is more human-like than Junior 6, Junior 6 is more human-like than Fritz 6, Fritz 6 is more human-like than Fritz 5, Fritz 5 is more human-like than Fritz 4. It's great to have the programmers giving input on this site, but they should confine their comments to what they know, programming issues! When they start talking about chess, they look as silly as I would if I started giving posts about computer chess programming.
