Isn't the stronger the program, the better the analysis? And isn't CT15 stronger
than CT14, and Fritz 8008 stronger than Fritz 7008? And isn't there a stronger
CM9 setting?
I can believe that some upgrades or settings might handicap other features, but
I would honestly hope not. And anyway, a more correct analysis is surely more
useful than a eady viewing one. (or is there sometimes no analysis at all?)
