Perhaps Junior 7 or Shredder 6 won't be stronger than DF or CT14 by 50 points,
but does it play the same moves? Having the same rating is one thing, playing
the same moves is quite another. If I am an 1.e4 player (and I am), and I decide
to also start playing 1.d4, it won't be because I think it is 50 points
stronger, but because it is just as valid an approach and DIFFERENT.
