I Own the following programs:

1. Rebel 9->Rebel 10
2. Genius 2->Genius 5
3. Fritz5 16bit
4. Hiarcs 6(fritz engine)
5. Junior 5.0
6. Chessmaster 3000-> Chessmaster5500
7. Nimzo98
8. Shredder 2.0
9. Some minor progs (cyrus, edchess etc)
this is all of the major programs except M-Chess

The best of the best program if you look at the big picture is a tie between
Junior 5 and Fritz 5, because of their strength and features (especially the
multi engine feature) and probably best non-stand alone database.  Also the
natural language game annotation is GREAT fun!

Second place: Rebel 10

Third place : Chessmaster 5500(now 6000) Most fun and intresting style, great
price.

All the rest are just gravy to accent my three main courses listed above.
