I have not been able to test Titan or Fortress against other top programs. I have Fritz6, Nimzo7.32, Genius6, Shredder3 - so yo can see that I don't have many of the latest or strongest. That's why it's really helpful for those who do to carry out some testing. A collective effort gives a clearer picture. I have done only a small amount of testing and do not wish to make any claims based on it. CM Utzinger has done very well against top programs and I congratulate you on this. My settings are untested in this area. I feel that the selective search setting is the difficult one. I know that 6 is definitely not the best, but I am unsure as to which setting is - I suspect 8 might be, but can't back this up with a watertight argument. Regards, Graham.
