I'm a big Comet fan, I have not tried the one from Chessbase though. (only in
the F6 demo, I broke down and tried that)  I use the Winboard and the Dos
versions of Comet B11.  Very strong program.  It came out the winner of my
recent (single computer) Winboard tournament, 60 mvs/10 minutes on my slow
computer.  I'm not really sure if that indicates how strong it is, but it
probably says allot.

I'll allways rely on Crafty for many things (annotations for example) and I'm
not really sure if Comet _is_ stronger than Crafty at the moment, but without a
doubt, Comet is just one of those _must have_ types of programs.
