When I say not preprocessors I mean never do preprocessing. I am sure that Gambittiger and Rebel do preprocessing. Fritz does it less than in the past but there are still cases when I can find that it is a preprocessor. Junior and gandalf are the only commercial programs that I know from the programmers that they never do pre processing. I supose that you don't consider HIARCS and The King to be >top engines. I know at least for the king that it does some preprocessing and it is based on a reply to a question about it. There are no big changes in the score based on the root position but there are changes in the scores based on the programmer's words. I see that I really forgot one program(yace). It is the best free program that avoid preprocessing and it may be at the same level of Junior or gandalf. Uri
