I know that, for myself, I don't necessarily want the analysis engine with the
strongest overall game, just the fastest, deepest, tactical "body count".  I can
supply positional judgement myself, and I'm sure so can Kasparov.  Judged in
these terms I haven't found any better CB7 analysis engine than Fritz (although
I haven't tried the multiprocessor version of Crafty).
