 Hey, you all forget Junior! And the mighty Fritz of course....I don't refer to
Hiarcs as the latest version is out and hasn't proved clear superiority, so with
newer versions of other programs it will stay more behind.....

 I hope that Chess Tiger would come out to play too.....Any news for it?
And what about Rebel? Where is Rebel? I still wish Ed changes his opinion
and..... Chessmaster is still here and i hope JDK would make some good progress
too....

So my list is:
1.Shredder 10, Fruit X, Deep Fritz 9, Rybka 1.2 (too much dust to choose
clearly)
2.Hiarcs 10, Gandalf 7

 Junior 10 is too difficult to say something.....I hope they will find a way to
go to the top again but keeping at the same time the style of Junior....
