I disagree - for quite pragmatical reasons, because of experience. Strongest non-commercial means - stronger than Ferret, stronger than Zarkov, stronger than Insomniac, stronger than Diep ( I don't know if this one is for sale currently). Sure this is possible - is it likely ? It is not the first time very convincing results for a non-commercial engine have been reported . Judging from previous experiences being the strongest non-commercial is a special task though: talking about engines that later became availlable : in the past it constantly proved wrong IMHO. When it is about non-availlable engines my money would still be on Ferret, but this is a futile discussion for sure. And again - for pragmatical reasons, when it is about sooner or later availlable engines, I'd bet on Yace :) . Peter
