Roy,

Simple!  The newest chess program.  When the illusion wears off then I realize
that I have a product that may beat me more severely than the old program.  I
then go back to playing the older programs occasionally but realize that I have
more important things to do.

Currently, I am enamored of Hiarcs 8.0.  It is weaker than Gambit Tiger 2.0
which I beta tested but it is newer and that makes all the difference. Get it?
