Hi Joachim
The problem was not that CM X got for example a score
of 85 % vs Shredder but that the same setting did only
got an overall score of 30-35 % vs all other engines.
If a CM9-setting achieved an overall score between
48-55 % with the exception of 70 % (positive) or 30 %
(negative) vs a specific engine, this was OK for us. There
may always be a dreaded/easy opponent for a chess program.
Best regards
Kurt
