Do you also think that Genius3 is the best engine?
I am surprised to hear it because I thought that later versions are not weaker
than genius3.

I see no reason for the programmer to downgrade the engine.

I understood from the ssdf list that there is only a small difference between
genius3 and later versions but I did not think that the programmer downgrade the
engine.

I did not buy Genius4 5 or 6 because there was no significant improvement but I
did not think that the change is negative.

I also do not expect genius3 with Special book to be at the same level as the
top programs because it is an old program(from 1994) and I know that there was
significant improvement in other programs.
