Junior 5 at the moment has the most advanced and bug-free interface. It includes
Junior 5 and Crafty (two fast searchers) and optionally Fritz 5 or Hiarcs. It is
32 bit.. fast and will host also future 32 bit engines. As to the engines.. all
fast searchers are basically the same... Junior, Fritz (or even Crafty) are not
that different... so I'd suggest to go for the most advanced interface (at the
moment Junior 5). In the future you can still add Hiarcs, which is quite
different, has a very unique style of play and is pleasant to play with.
