I don't know about Genius 7 but in Genius 4 I found for sure that it have bugs
in its logic for finding mate. In few positions he was wrong. It was a time when
I used few programs in order to verify my mate solver speed compared with
others. Almost all programs that I used then (1994 - 1995) contained obvious
mistakes in their mate solving part. I was surprised!
