It is not truth that there is no step forward in chess software in the last
years.

There are always new and better programs.

Genius3 was the best program some years ago and Genius did no step or almost no
step forward but other programmers did steps forwards and now their programs are
clearly better relative to the past.

Junior5 is clearly better than Junior4.6 and the next version of Junior is going
to be clearly better than Junior5

The same is for Hiarcs7.32 relative to Hiarcs6.
