Well, this is unfortunate because when you buy a top program, you get much less
positional wisdom from it, than some of the programs which get much lower
results on the ground.
Shredder 5 went down from Shredder 4?!!!! Century, Fritz, Junior are not amongst
the top positionally? so what ARE they?
What's that I see in 5th place? does that say GT2? What! Really? almost as good
as AnMon and SOS?
