On a single CPU, these are all very strong and it is VERY arguable which is
best:

Chess Tiger 15
Deep Fritz 7 (and Fritz 7) (Fritz 8 is coming soon and should be stronger)
Shredder 6.02 (version 7 is coming soon and should be stronger)
Deep Junior 7 (and Junior 7)
Chessmaster 9000 Utzinger
Hiarcs 8.0 (probably not the strongest, but very strong nonetheless)
Rebel XP

You'd probably have to play many (many!) hundreds of games under carefully
controlled conditions to know which is the strongest in computer-computer
matches.  And it would be even harder to ascertain which is strongest against
humans!

Once Fritz 8 and Shredder 7 are out, those two plus Tiger 15 will probably be
the top 3.
