They are damn strong, the best one can find, with only a few exceptions (Ruffian, King, Rebel and a couple of other mavericks...). The problem lies not in the programs or programmers. It lies elsewhere and it would take me a lot of time to expound what I have in mind. But, you are German, and you have probably seen Werner Herzog's film on Kaspar Hauser. He treated this general issue so well there. Djordje
