Hi,

again i see as always default settings in Chessmaster 6000/7000 arent very good.
And, my result after month: with CM 6555 settings CM is better than Shredder 4,
Fritz 6a, Junior 6 - of course in longer games. CM isnt a blitz programme!

On my Athlon 650, 128 MB Hashtables! (best are 64 or 128 MB) CM 6555 finds 1.
...Bf4 in 3:01 min.
CM 6555 is my fav setting after many month of testing against other progs.

Ive seen some games between CM 8000 and other Progs. I wonder if i will use the
default settings for CM 8000 also.
