Your not going to purchase a program based on 3 games? What about the other
results this year. Winner of the WCCC 2004. That alone is enough for me.

Use Shredder 8 on ICC against some of the GM's there, and you will see it get
owned like a candy bar in a fat farm.

Hiarcs 9 is defaintely strong against humans, as well as Fritz.

The loss that Junior had could have been _any_ program. Junior did not play
overly weak in the game, and was simply out positionally played.

I know for sure I will be purchasing Junior 9 when it comes out. These samplings
of games are almost meaningless. 3 games is nothing.
