It is better than most of the programs

The latest version of Junior5 needs almost 10 hours to fail high with Re6 on
pentium200MMX

Crafty16.4 as an engine for Fritz5 is better and found the right move after some
hours(I do not know the exact time but I saw that Re6 was the 4th or 5th move(I
am not sure) at depth 13, after an hour of analysis it considered Re6 as the 2nd
move at depth 14 and after some hours I saw when I looked again at the screen
that it suggested the right move after something close to 5 hours at depth 15(I
do not know if it solved it at depth 14 or 15).

Genius3 is working hard on this problem and it did not solve it after more than
21 hours on pentium100Mhz(it is considering the right move in the last hour at
depth 13/25)
