That is where the explanation of its standing on the SSDF for that particular
program against other programs would be helpful printed on the box, and for
programs strong against humans such as Shredder 4 and Rebel or Chess Tiger
should aim to advertise it using performance against human is = etc... The
reason for this is that the larger market where chessmaster has a strong hold,
is not aware of the current standing of the rest of the programs compared to
chessmaster.
