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? Enrique
