According to chessbits new rating list, genius 3 rates at 2589! I remember that genius 4 was a bit slower and possibly rated at slightly less because it was the first windows version. But really!!!? couldn't genius 6.5 have caught up with genius 3 yet? Even if genius 6.5 IS using windows, after 3-4 further upgrades, is windows still all that debilitating? Also, by the way, It looks like Fritz 6a shares top place on that rating list with Deep Junior with 2698. Whilst DJ has error margin of -35 (fritz6a has minus much more) =2663, genius 3 has error margin of +80=2669. So it is still even possible that genius 3 is still the top program available today. Why has it been ignored all these years? only because of windows, and human tendency at fooling oneself? Progress has at any rate been very very slow! If I would have stayed with my old genius 3, and not bought newer software since then, I would not have been missing very much (in playing strength)! S.Taylor
