I know a lot of people only use Chess programs to play them against other Chess
programs, and I do that too, but my impresion from playing against them over the
last few years is that neither program is really stronger.

Measured against eachother for statistic type battles, it's still real difficult
to tell which is strongest, because the next versions come out, and a few games
later, and everything has changed.

Goliath has always been more of a kick in the teeth playing against it.  There's
a way to tone that down if you're playing against it yourself, and it plays more
interesting games, but it gets weaker too.  But I'd have to install it again and
look at it's ini or init files again to see how I used to do that.
