Yes, and maybe the best chess isn't beautiful at all!? I could well imagine that
watching a game between two perfect or nearly perfect players would be totally
boring. Maybe, to be successful, you have to play passive chess instead of
attacking chess. We had examples for this in computerchess history too, I guess,
just think of Genius, which had been ahead of the pack for a long time.

Some people say that Hiarcs 7.32 is even better than Fritz 5.32 / Fritz 6 for
this type of analysis. But honestly I can't tell you, I simply don't know. But
in my opinion the chessbase programs do have by far the best features for
automatic analysis.
