When I talked to Sandro Necchi several years ago at the AEGON
tournament,
he explained to me why MChess scored so well versus other programs: 'We
are outbooking them'. To me this explains everything.

I completely agree with you on this one. The difference is probably very
marginal. All programs have their pro's and contra's. I like The King
for
finding mates very, very quickly; I like Genius for its play in
positions
with weak pawns; I like Hiarcs for its powerful play; I like the way
Fritz
is able to complicate positions; and I like Rebel because it is allround
and very good at king's attacks. All programs have their own style and
the difference is most certainly not big.
