Some programs have (in a certain time) such an advantage, such a progress in regards to other programs (hiarcs 1993, shredder 1999), that you don't need to test against all. its good if you do. but there is no need. >You could only know that shredder is a good program. >I think you were lucky to guess that it is going to win. if you guess you are always lucky. :-) shredders advantage was very big. The same with hiarcs 1993. I remember christophes chesstiger 11.2 having the same advantage one day, so i tried to operate it in paderborn to show him that it is very very strong. in the last round gandalf killed tiger for special reasons, so tiger only was 3rd. It happens from time to time that ONE program has an advantage. remember how long richard lang dominated anything. >It may be the best program but I do not know if it is the best program. nobody knows 100%. but you can be very very sure. >I did the same mistake when I thought Junior is the best program after it won >WMCCC and in this case there were 11 games(more than WCCC). > >I guess that it is the best but it is not clear and I hope that the latest >version of Junior is better. > >Uri i do also hope the same. its always good when all programs make progress.
