Why aren't you interested in Ruffian?  IMO it still has plenty of room to
improve.
I am waiting for Virtual Chess 3 to come out.  It should have come out months
ago but somehow it got stuck.

Chess Tiger 16 is another candidate of mine.  I am not impressed that much with
tiger 15.  I have both, but I stick to tiger 14 when it comes to analysis.
