I don't agree. You'r epresuming he is only searching for an opponent to play,
but when it comes to analysis getting the best program is perfectly
understandable and 50+ points is non-negligeable. When travelling to a
tournament I use a 550 MHz Celeron laptop so having a program that performs
significantly better on this hardware compared to others would also be my
choice. Not that I analyze with only one engine though. I use both Shredder 7
AND Tiger 15 in Chess Assistant 7.
