     For me this is not an important question. I do also not understand
     why it should be of any importance which would be the strongest
     program in 5 months? I take and test the programs as they come.
     And experience show that the difference in playing strenght between
     the 3-5 top engines has become very small. It also depends on what
     we are talking about: blitz games, tournament games, long time
     analysis and so on.
