Subject: A Question About Practical Differences

Author: G. R. Morton

According to at least some test results eg.
http://www.utzingerk.com/rating_list.htm the top few chess engines seem to me
fairly close to each other in overall playing strength. So if a chess master (or
even a GM) would play dozens of games with each of the latest versions of, say,
Rybka and Toga II (without knowing which is which to preclude bias potential)
could he with any confidence say which is stronger?

I suspect not, but I’m only asking because Toga II now is free.  I wish Vasik
commercial success to encourage development but I still ask: could even a GM
tell the difference in strength, or learn more from one more than the other?

Thanks
GR
