Topic The Rybka Lounge / Computer Chess / Which Engine of the four think you Fight best, and at Worst?

NOTE: We do not look at the Engines' Rating and Strenght.
- Personally.
- Worst: Junior. I am a Poor Tactician and Dynamician with a Hard Time in open Games. I Am a Strong Planner and Stratagist, and Positional Player.
Junior, with it's aggressiveness, will let me Endure so many Tacticall Surprises, also with it's Sacrifices, and makes the game Dynamic so that I have little to plan and to think really think ahead about.
I Fear the Junior who will Wreak Havoc on my Position and insecure, instable Morale, if I ever Play him.
Best: Schredder. I know the Reputation of Schredder [but look NOTE above] yet what can I say? Better Head-to-Head in Equal Qualities, than having to try to Survive the openings-Phase, die-trying to keep a Closed Game in the MiddleGame, trying to Efficiently exchange Queens as fast as possible ( which really, really favours me.. ), and Modify my long-thinking Mentality when playing Junior so I could finally get a ( Relative ) Advantage over the Junior.
I have litterally thought ahead and think like more than 1 and a Half hour, not always efficiently though, ( Correspondance ofcourse! ) in certain games against a Computer and Human opponent, just to find out my Opponent did a simple Tacticall move so I could Resign.
Bye the way: I am a Defender & Protector.
Tell me if you are this either, or an Attacker & Aggressor.
At least, what do you prefer?

This morning on CB, they showed the Gelfand interview and they asked Gelfand if Anand was a positional player? Gelfand answered that at his level (2800), he is good at everything. Now imagine an engine that might be 500 points better than Anand, so I am not sure how you would classify the top engines as positional or tactical. I think sometimes there is also marketing in place, "my engine is very human like", what does that mean? Does that mean that your engine sucks at chess?
This is off topic, but what I found most interesting about Gelfand's interview was his concern that the young people don't use their own mind as much and are quick to "push the button" for the answer. He was concerned that using the computer the wrong way maybe holding back the current generation a little.

I have found W- chess which is also found in the 'Power Chess' programs to be more Nimzo like than any other engine.
