Have you looked into this? Others have pointed out that strong(er) endgame players may suffer less from the queen exchange. Maybe that's why Shredder, Crafty or Tiger score similar (Tiger even seems to benefit with Black, 71% to 62%). I must admit I did not analyse any further after the database research. I think the effect on Junior 7 should be visible from any large comp-comp database, i.e. SSDF. I think most some database programs provide ECO statistics on selected games; maybe differences would be visible by that. Also, I'd be curios if the average length of the games, and the drawing percentage, is different in the eQE games. Maybe somebody else will research further, who is more interested in that particular topic (than I am, currently). Kasparov will bring the final verdict anyway. :o)) Regards, M.Scheidl
