For it contains 40 games one can say a bit.
Of course for statistical relevance we need >500 games but none of us will do

And I also know of Genius being "Angstgegner" for MCP. But I repeat, I only
wanted to see if old predecessors are able to compete with actual programs. In
case of Genius3 I would certainly say YES very clearly.
