In my games, Genius 5 is a bit better that >Genius 5, but how about Genius 6.5 ???? Popular opinion is that Genius3 was excellent and that little progress was made after that. Some will even say that 3 was best. My guess is that there is little to choose between them. Here's a few snips from SSDF 12/01 17 Fritz 5.32 128MB K6-2 450 MHz 2552 25 -25 804 58% 2497 32 Genius 6.5 128MB K6-2 450 MHz 2475 29 -29 565 48% 2488 36 Fritz 5.0 PB29% 67MB P200 MMX 2460 23 -22 1005 66% 2343 49 Genius 5.0 DOS 46MB P200 MMX 2391 20 -20 1197 49% 2395 58 Genius 5.0 DOS Pentium 90 MHz 2329 18 -18 1558 47% 2348 61 Genius 3.0 Pentium 90 MHz 2308 26 -25 785 61% 2228 64 Genius 4.0 DOS Pentium 90 MHz 2303 23 -23 944 60% 2234 Observations: Fritz is better than Genius by about 70pts (in SSDF Games) Genius 5 picked up 62 points going from P90 to P200 Genius 6.5 (K6-450) is 84 points above Genius 5 (P200) > >I remember that it has the same strenght or maybe it was a bit stronger than >Fritz 5.32.

He is still programming CC for the Palm. I suspect that many of the programmers leave CC due to: Personal satisfaction declines as the ratio of Improvement:Effort gets smaller & smaller; 7 year itch - how long can you pursue the one intangable hobby; Just my opinions, Tina Long > >Thanks in advance!. > >Tanya Deborah
