I would have to say from my testing that Gambit Tiger is one of the strongest
along with Junior 6.

They scored the same in my little tournament using 2 x PIII 866 256 megs ram,
40/2 + rest in 30 mins.

I tested:

Gandalf 4.32g
Fritz 6
Junior 6
Nimzo 8
Rebel Tiger 13.0
Gambit Tiger 1.0
Hiarcs 7.32
Crafty 17.10

This is how they scored:

Gambit Tiger: 62.5/80 ( Won series with Junior, hense 1st place )
Junior 6 : 62.5/80 ( Lost series 3-5-2 to Gambit Tiger )
Rebel Tiger 13.0: 58.5/80
Fritz 6: 51.5/80 ( Lost horribly to Gambit Tiger 2-6-2 )
Crafty 17.10 : 49.0/80 ( Won series vs Gandalf 5-1-4)
Gandalf 4.32g: 47.5/80
Nimzo 8: 22.5/35 ( Started late, catching up now Won series vs Fritz 6 8-2-0)
Hiarcs 7.32: 43.5/80

Each program used their own books, and had independant hardware.

Take it for what it is worth.
