Otherwise I have found that using some of the other login names, you are player a chessmaster that can be 150 points lower than stated. Have you increased the hash. Have you tired the alternative settings, I posted ones here which when I play against the out of box settings I find my settings to be about 35-40% stronger in the six games I have played so far. And as for Analysis, I think CM6K apart from infinite analysis, is better than the rest, it picks up Mates in quicker time than any other program, and on positions posted on here sometimes, I find that it find them much more faster than the other programs.
