Of course I mean on equal software.

I did not claim only 10 free programs but at least 10 free programs.
I think that today we have more than 10 free programs that are better than
Genius3 that was the best of november 1994

Here are names of 11 programs that I believe to be better than Genius3:

1)Ruffian
2)Aristarch
3)List
4)ProDeo
5)Sos
6)Thinker
7)Gothmog
8)Delfi
9)Pharaon
10)Tao
11)Crafty

I expect also in 2014 to have more than 10 free programs that are better than
Shredder8 that is the best of november 2004
