You have to consider the period of time that they were used, and also the influence that they had on other programs that came since then. Doesn't Deep Thought deserve mention? Same with comercial programs like Sargon? Sure you can slaughter the thing with all sorts of freeware today, but that doesn't count when you take it out of it's own timeframe. GNUchess because of it's wide influence and what others have learned from it! Anyhow, labeling Chess programs "all time greats" is too much of an opinion thing. Pete
