Go up one level in this thread


Dana,

Both programs lack long term planning.  Both programs will get better as our
computers get better and faster. Good things come to those who wait. I prefer
the newest computer program that I have. Right now that is Genius 7.0. Tomorrow
it may be Fritz 8.x

Out of the 10,000+ members at this site I doubt that we have more than 25 who
are over 2200 ELO. Vincent Diepeeven and Stephen Ham are way above this level.
Most chess programmers with the exception of Vincent and Marty Hirsch are not
strong masters.
