Century4 has done extremely well and it is a giant step forward vs the older
programs from the same author. In example C4 (A1200) won six in a row against
Shredder5 (AMD450) The playing style is close to the new "paradigm programs",
Junior7 , Gambit and Gandalf. The favourite attack begins with moves like Re1 to
e3 followed by Rg3 or h3 and heavy pressure on the enemy king. The castle-bug is
fixed and the play with fianchetto-bishops seems to be much better then all
earlier "Rebels". The endgame is clearly improved, probably  most because of the
improved tactical ability. I believe Century4 can compete with every top-program
in the middle-game but it is still slightly weaker in the endgame.
