Yu are right but my time is limited. If I had 10 PCs I'd do such tests but I haven't. And from time to time I have other things to do then to let my both computers play each other. ;-) >>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. IF weaker then I'd say not more than 20pts. As I already wrote, the top10 programs are equal strong, maybe Junior5 and Hiarcs7 another bit above. They only differ in style. >>>In my opinion, there is no difference of strength between the engines in >>>G3/4/5/6.

At least for us patzes who can almost only run testsuites... I am looing forward to that Genius3-MCP8 match, I am really curious. :-)
