If not, what is the order? >S.Taylor 1. Rebel 2. Tiger 3. Junior 4. Crafty 5. Hiarcs Rebel has never lost a match to a human. Currently the highest rated bot on ICC that plays humans only is a Tiger clone. Scrappy on ICC also just plays humans and is rated over 3300. Junior is included because it's playing style really gives humans trouble. Hiarcs is terrific at tactics and has a wide open and non-traditional computer playing style. This is of course only my opinion, but results lead me to believe they are about right. Peter
