I think that Crafty was worse. Crafty really lost against Rebel and Nimzo because of bad book lines.

I think it was the most interesting not in the meaning that it was the best but in the meaning that it played some games in a different way than other programs. > >>I think that this program did the biggest change relative to previous versions. > >no. it was rebel or shredder, maybe tiger. no doubt for me. I did not say the biggest change in rating and I meant the biggest change in the choice of moves. I believe that if you use the commercial Rebel to predict Rebel's moves you will do better than if you use the commercial Junior to predict Junior's moves in london. Uri
