again this is with no warranty and only a subjective opinion:

1) No engine
2) Rook and Queen-Endings handles Fritz and Ruffian very well.
3) I'd guess Junior 8 and Shredder 7.04
4) Shredder 7.04
5) all engines ;-)
6) ???
7) I like the way ChessTiger plays the opening.

regards Joachim

P.S.: I hope your match against the computers will only be delayed and not be
cancelled, so that you can show, that you will better score against these beasts
than Nickel ;-)
