I never heard of mirage.

I know that Genius3 was the best of the old programs and programs of today still
cannot beat it in every game.

Are you sure that Mirage does not steal 99.9% of the cpu in the games that you
play with it against Fritz6?

I also know that chessmaster2000 was weak and I do not believe that Fritz6 has
difficulty in defeating it in fair conditions.

I think that you should not use one computer for games between programs unless
you check that the programs get 50% of the cpu.
