Go up one level in this thread


If you mean that Fritz 5 and Junior 4.6 are root processors, has anybody
developed a definitive test set of positions that show this? Since the
amount of knowledge applied to the tips vs the root evaluations is all
relative, it is difficult to classify root processors as completely
separate from leaf processors. Nimzo  is the classical root processor,
with Fritz  not far behind and I suspect that Junior  is also fairly
close to the root processor end of the scale.
