I bought the CB version recently and although it is a strong engine, I have not been super impressed by it because it has not been beating other engines like Fritz 8.008 or Shredder 7.04 or even the King 3.23 with modified settings. Unless there is going to be a much stronger upgrade soon (which I have been waiting Christoph to announce), for the money, I would wait for Junior first which is supposedly coming in May. CB Chesstiger 15 is not a good buy if you want improved strength given you have the lokasoft version already. Jim
