i have seen lots of games between all of those programs on my computer . to me
chess tiger ,deep fritz ,gamit tiger , hiarcs really impress me .junior just
doesn't seem to dominate .shredder 6 to me was a little dissapointing , its very
strong but i thought it would dominate the others , but it dont .chess tiger was
the big surprise to me . now it dominates .
