Subject: The three programs to watch out for...

With the World Championship in Graz around the corner, I'd like to tell you what
my recent extensive testing with different chess programs has shown:  out of
_many_ good programs there are three to watch out for, three that will be placed
very highly in the coming tournaments and rating lists:  Ruffian, Deep Sjeng and
El Chinito. The trio is just stupendous:  both tactically and positionally.  I
tend to think that one of the three will take over place #1 on the SSDF list
very soon.

The latest Ruffian (post Leiden version!) is perhaps the best chess program I
have ever tested, but Deep Sjeng and El Chinito also leave one gaping.  I can
only imagine what their latest versions (that I do not have) are like.

Let us see if my prediction will be true or completely off the mark...

Regards,

Djordje
