Shredder 4,0 is the worldchampion and of course a very powerful program. Very strong in the endgame and possibly better at tournamentlevel than blitz and rapid. Works perfectly and has IMO a very nice wooden interface + others. Genius 6.5 has it's roots in Richard Lang's program. Described as "Strateg". Comes with a databank of 500.000 games with lots of searchoptions. Nimzo 2000 is a fast, tacticly very dangerous program. Thompsons Endgame CD:s covers all important endgame with 4-5 piecies. And then all the extra "oldies", though I must confess I use Shredder 3.0 in it's original interface. That makes it 4 stand-alone programs and a bunch of engines (f.e. WbNimzo2000b) Regards Sune
