The reason to read chess computer reviews by Komputer Korner is to obtain the
most detailed critique of GUI features and bugs. Of course Larry Kaufman (with
his IM title being almost on a par with KK in terms of chess judgement, and with
much more experience at this level) gets the nod but again if you want the
absolute most authoritative judgement of chess strength Komputer Korner is for
you.
