Chess Tiger, Rebel Century, Hiarcs, The King and Crafty all play very nice
positional chess.  Positional chess is ofcourse finding positions that generate
a lot of tactics to damage your opponents position.  :)

Fritz and Junior also play nice positional chess, however, due to their speed,
we often think of them as very tactical players, however, the positions they
reach are often very stong.  :)

Other programs tend to fall into one or the other catagories, but it is just a
classification.  Chess is 99% tactics and positional chess is to create powerful
positions that have lots of tactical possibilities.

Just my opinion, I am not a master player, just read a lot of books written by
the masters (and lost a few games to them).  :)
