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. On December 18, 1998 at 21:16:28, James T.
