  I agree with most of what you said. I've analyzed my own games with several
programs, and I find Century to give me the most interesting hints.
  I don't know the reason why it is a level below the other top programs in
comp-comp, but I dont mind anyway.
  IMO, this computer chess world is being unfair with this program (and some
others) for not being tuned to play comp-comp. Personally, I'd suggest people to
re-think what can they get from the chess programs they've bought. They will
find there're many things more enjoyable than playing comp-comp... and they'll
admit Century is great!
