An emotional and sympathetic chess program :o). That would be a new paradigm

Yep, that would be a strong argument as always.

Though I'm not fortunate enough to have GT in my possession I'm sure that it's a
very strong and enjoyable program to use. Very few new programs sweeps the

rather small after all. So your choice boils down to preferences in features,
GUI and style IMHO.
