Maybe it is comander Keene

To be the strongest player\program I think Tournaments are of great importance
And the rating points scored in these tournaments should be included in the SSDF
rating list.

But then again I also think it is to early to make a real judgement about Fritz7
Which actualy counts into ways for the press and the rest of the world.
Maybe it has the same bug as Junior7
The search methode can be too risky and this can be tweaked
But I think Aswell as Franz as Amir have don this on purpuse
For Human computer games

So the program will not always play the same moves.
With Junior7 I already have seen how more positions it played
the better it handels these positions
To win computer computer tournaments they should use the computer wich already
was used for the test program program  games
Ofcourse preferably with the same time controls as used in the tournament.

Myself I many times create a book from 1 line and let the programs play this
opening several times with both colours.
