I was not only referring to the number of games, but to the fact that some programs are "customers" of others. Program A can intensly dislike program B, without this meaning that B is stronger than A. I think it’s important to make them play as many different opponents as feasible. >And I also know of Genius being "Angstgegner" for MCP.

Genius 3( or 4/5/6, quite the same)is, I think, quite a bit weaker than Junior 5, Hiarcs 7 and Tiger, for example. >>In my opinion, there is no difference of strength between the engines in >>G3/4/5/6.
