This doesn't help Mr. Tabibi at all, since he is looking to buy the program. Mr Tabibi, the answer is we and nobody else knows which is the best program you can buy. Personally, I think it would be Chess Tiger 15 or Fritz 7/8. After that, would come DJ7,Chessmaster,Shredder and HIARCS in my opinion. Fritz 7 is unique because it appears to play strong at EVERY time control. Whereas many of the others, if you play a certain time control and it doesn't do well and post the results, their fans post a rebuttal of sorts and say "oh, well you played it at time control that it doesn't do well " . With that said, I personally recommend CT 15, becasue you really get 4 engines and I like CT's position analysis the best. Plus, the upgrades are reasonably price. Other people like the Fritz GUI the best - so it really comes down to your own personal preference. And of course, there are many of us who own both and enjoy both of these programs! And then with CM9K, you get the razzle dazalle 3D boards, tournamnet, ratings, unlimited personlaties, many pre-defiend personalities and a winboard engine that will play in almost any Winboard/UCI GUI.
