Fritz is a possibility as well, but my >>money is on Tiger. At the final roar, I think Tiger will be champ. There is one disadvantage of showing too many games either by testing the beta version of Tiger in the CCC or by playing at the FICS Species (C) or Chess.net Webkikr (C). The other programmers are constantly collecting Games Weakness of the program being tested as a beta version in this case the Tiger Beta tester are showing too many games. You don't see the beta testers of Quest or the King program other than CM8000 which is totally a different program and it plays different than the commercial Chessmaster or Beta version of CM8000, furthermore, there has not been too many games shown of the new version of Nimzo 8, which to my judgement did very good except for a minor bug which has been debugged as far as I know. Just wait for the surprise of those programs that are not showing their weakness by their beta testers posting the majority of their tested games Pichard.
