That's an interesting comparison between Fritz and Junior's playing style. I
must admit that I'm too weak a player to be able to recognize stylistic
differences like that. To me every top chess program seems aggressive. It would
be interesting if a strong Chess player could give a 2 or 3 line comparative
commentary on the style of today's top programs... preferably someone not
employed by Chessbase :)
