Actually, the 40/120 results were not _too_ bad statistically (two losses, one
draw to Rebel 10; other mediocre results were at 40/40 or 60/game), but the way
the games went convinced me that CM 6000 is not in the same class as the "CM
5555" setup or Hiarcs or others. (I may be jumping to conclusions, though,
wouldn't be the first time my inital impressions were wrong. ;(

I may consider it if I don't find a better program for the last open slot, if
only to satisfy those people who think that the tourney wouldn't be complete
without the SSDF #2. :)
After all, no-one else has bothered (or was able to) reproduce the great results
I had with CM 5555, but then again I am probably the only one who has played
almost 100 (!) games with it at 40/120 alone.
