Subject: Positional engines/programs (ranking)

I have Fritz, "the tactical monster" as it is called. I would like to start
playing longer time controls (I've been told by more than one that to improve my
game, I should start playing longer games and lay off the Blitz for a while).
So, I throw the question out, what is the best positional engine out there with
good features (good teaching features, hey, im no GM, and want more is as a
teaching tool to analyze my positional games) The thing is that if I see a
crowded board, with little space, I start exchanging pawn and pieces, perhaps in
not a too wise matter in OTB games (I get a little clausterphobic ;) ) I want to
remedy that. I've started studying openings (humbug) and a good positional
program might do me some good. So, if anybody owns many of these different
software, what would you consider to be the best positional teaching/engine
program out there. I've been considering Hiarcs engine for Fritz (if there was a
Rebel engine, I would probably snatch it up considering the reviews here). Any
help? Thanks.
