How big a difference would it necessarily make? Today's top programs are in
their Nth generation, and many times the engine isn't really so different from
the previous. FOr example, despite not doubting for a minute that Shredder 8 is
stronger than Shredder 7.04, are its replies so different that preparation would
necessarily be so hard?
