Oh! you're the programmer? Nice to meet you!
If it has beaten Fritz a little, it MIGHT be comparable to CM8K. Also to older
top programs e.g. Genius 3 on a 486, if not better (e.g. on 850mhz+).
 That makes it very special. So are others if they are like that and free. And
it puts tremendous pressure on the commercials, which probably don't always meet
their requirments, in comparrison.
