Subject: Subjective analysis of the STYLE of selected programs

Chess Tiger - passive and uninterprising, but solid on good hardware

Chessmaster brilliant combinative player

Fritz 5-6 - A Genius tactician

Rebel- seemingly a positional style or is this just an inability to create good
tactics(relatively speaking of course)?

Junior 6- I was prepared for this program to be "IT!", but i have been sadly
dissapointed, perhaps my hardware is too slow(p166mmx)?  In running through my
book "smyslovs 125 best games"  Junior hardly ever finds anything whereas fritz
almost always finds Smyslov's continuation.  Heck i have almost beat J6 in game
in 30 myself.  Style hard to say not the top in any facet tactics endgame or
positional play, but relatively good in all phases.

Chess sytem tal 2 - Crazy

Shredder 4 - haven't played it enough, but a great endgame player, maybe the
best.

Hiarcs 7 -  Well my mom always said if you can't say something nice then don't
say anything at all ....  So all i'll say is that it's stronger than 50% of
IM's.
