At times my programs agree on the move but with trial and error using human positional judgement I am able to find a better move (this not too often, but it has happened). other times I find that Tiger Gambit finds a better move. I have never had Hiarcs 7.32 find a better move, nor Junior 5 and until this morning I would have said that about crafty except the little bugger found a nice quiet move that set fritz6e back a little. Up till now I have used Fritz5e as the trial horse as It seeems that opponents are making fritz moves which gives me some sense of advantage being able to somewhat predict response, but not always. Thanks for response(s). I am curious if best programs at 40/2 are still best at unlimited time. I sorta have formed that opinion ahead of the post, but Crafty has surprised me with his move this morning. I must give crafty more chances now as up to now I have not. Thanks all Wayne
