The best opportunity to improve is for bad programs and not for good programs. I do not know if it has the best search function but it seems to have the best search funcction when the target is mate in the middle game.

And remember that CM is using an engine that was >released in ~ September 1998 - De Konnig has The King 3.0 waiting for CM 8000. > >Regards, > >Steve Maughan I do not expect the king 3 to be for chessmaster because chessmaster do not want the best engine(they did not do it in chessmaster7000 so I have no reason to believe that they will do it in chessmaster8000). I also do not know if the king3 is better than previous versions (there were cases when new versions were weaker) I guess that the new king engine will always be a private program because it seems that the programmer is not interested in doing it commercial I know that chessmaster6000 was best in the past but I wanted to know if one of the new programs(like Fritz6a) learned to be a better program in finding mates. I know that Fritz6a is the best in tactics based on Enrique's test suite and I wanted to know if it also can find faster mates in the middle game. I expect programs to improve and being better than chessmaster6000 in finding mates in the middle game is probably only a question of time. Uri
