Gandalf 4.32h is actually one of my favorite engines to play against, and use
online. I found 5.0, and 5.1 to be weaker than the h version.

Ever since I beta tested for Steen, I have loved the program. It will be one
that I will continue to purchase for years to come. I am eagerly anticipating
the release of version 6.0 whenever than happens.

Gandalf's style of play is the important factor. It has it's weaknesses as well
like passed pawn evaluation, and can sometimes play horrible endgames. All in
all, I think it is one of the better all round engines.
