Have a look at http://icdchess.com/forums/1/message.shtml?169234 , Stuart .

I think that Chess Tiger 14.0 really doesn't know more about solving the CCR
positions than Genius 2 . It's very clear that in general playing strength Chess
Tiger is at least one class stronger though.

Same with Fritz btw.

It might be also a design decision . A lot of the positions would usually be
"found" with the opening book - although I think this doesn't make them less
valid ; with minor changes very similar positions may well arise in games when
the program ´has to face them without the help of an opening book .

The best one definitely was Deep Shredder so far ; it solved many and the few it
didn't solve would have all been chosen by opening book .
