Go up one level in this thread


You do have a point. But different engines can give out different analysis.
There isn't always a right move. Probably the programs should have been sold as
engines at a lesser price since they all work in Fritz32 and Chessbase7. I do
have Junior5 and Nimzo99a and run them thru Frtitz32. I don't know, but if you
do wish to have multiple engines for analysis I suppose you have to buy what is
on the market.
