people say (I have no first hand knowledge) that for example fritz is good at
tactics, while hiarcs or junior is better at positional chess. I assume this
means more than 50% of the time. So closed positions would be handed to junior
or hiarcs and open to fritz.

if no body is better at blocked more than 50% of the time, than obviously this
would not work for blocked.


I once read though that falcon specialises on blocked positions though.
