I do not think that all the fast searchers are similiar.

If Junior is more similiar to Fritz than to Hiarcs than it is easy to prove it.

We can find how many times Junior5 suggest a different move from hiarcs6 and how
many times Junior5 suggest a different move from Fritz5.

It is interesting to do a list of distances between programs (the % of times
they suggest different moves).

If I have time I will do it for Fritz and Junior.
