"strong"
"VERY strong"
etc. etc.
"Strong" isn't so simple to produce or predict, it seems. I'm not critiscizing
the question, but I would add that you can't get carried away by the description
of strong without being prepared for the necesity of sense and ballanced
intelligence, and ballanced everything.
 No program seems to be trouncing its recent rivals. They are ALL losing some
games to those much lower, which seems to suggest some unfortunate weaknesses
and blind spots in even the best. But the best have LESS weakneses and blind
spots.

But even some amateur programs, I fear, may have more "strength" by way of
knowledge and insight, but alas! It's not utilized poperly.
