I agree that Chess Genius 3 has no better positional understanding than the top
commecial programs, but I have seen in several occasions where people have used
some of the top winboard programs like YACE, Crafty, SOS, SJeng etc..., and
nobody here complaint one bit about it. I personally think that none of these
winboard programs are much better than Genius 3.
