At times I think you want to misunderstand. I'll spell it diffeently: in
the last 12 months(10, 12, 15) fast searchers improved in strength more
than the others, talking about top programs. Basically, Mchess 7 =
Mchess 6 and Rebel 9 = Rebel 8. We don't have a Hiarcs 7 yet. Instead,
Nimzo 98 and Fritz 5 are quite a bit stronger than prior versions.
Shredder 2 is also stronger than Shredder 1, but I don't think it
belongs in the top group yet. Satisfied?
