It is not clear what do you mean by the best program(The best at blitz and The
best at  tournament time control are probably different programs)

The playing strength is also a question of against who do you play.

If you use the program for analysis then this is also a question of what games
do you analyze.

Another fact is that the best program to help a player in a match does not have
to be the best program but the best program in finding ideas that you do not
think.
