Jouni you're mostly wrong on this one. If you're a mid-master(human); you should
be able to tell the difference between a fide-rated 2400 elo vs. 2500 elo vs.
2700 elo. Maybe programs are more tricky to judge because because your
individual style of play maybe more favorable to one program rather than the
other. Since my style is positional I do better against programs that are
knowledge-based(Hiarcs) rather than fast-searchers(Fritz). Don't put all your
money into someone's swamp land in Florida use the gray matter in your skull
that God invested in !!
