This is my summary of the Chessbase engines running on my Pentium 4, 2.8 GHz. As I already said in another post, BamBam finds Nf4+ in 0 seconds. This is equalled by Junior 7, which also needs 0 seconds. (Maybe somebody with a slower computer than mine could say which engine is really faster). Junior 9 needs 7 seconds, but Junior 8 doesn't find it at all. Gambit Tiger 2.0 finds Nf4+ in 19 seconds, but neither Chess Tiger 14 nor Chess Tiger 15 finds it. Hiarcs 7.32 is convinced that a5 is the best move, but Hiarcs 8 chooses Nf4+ after 3 seconds, and Hiarcs 9 chooses Nf4+ after 15 seconds. Fritz 8 (version 8.1.2.0) needs 6 seconds, Fritz 9 needs 2 seconds. None of the older versions find it. Shredder 7 needs 36 seconds, while Shredder 7.04 needs 38 seconds. Shredder 8 needs a mere 9 seconds, while Shredder 9 needs 27 seconds. Anaconda 1.0 and 1.6.2 each need 4 seconds to find Nf4+, but Anaconda 2.0.1 can't find it. The "young talents" don't do well with this position, except for Goliath Light (4 seconds) and Phalanx XXII (25 seconds). Last but not least... the old favourite Doctor 3.0 finds Nf4+ in 10 seconds.
