I see in another post that you had actually Analyse Brain = OFF, which is OK.
However, if Tiger had pondering ON, then I assume that CM6000 had pondering ON
too?
And if it is the case, then you can just trash the result of this match and
start again.
If you play on one computer, use pondering OFF. With pondering ON, you get a
random result.
The rule on one computer is that a program that is thinking must have 100% (or
close) of the CPU.
As far as I know, even when it is idle, CM6000 steals a lot of CPU time. So
imagine what happens when it is thinking in the background...
Didzis Cirulis has studied this matter, and he has experimentaly found the best
way to test programs using only one computer. You should read his page.
Unfortunately, the link I have to his site seems to be updated.
Didzis, if you read this, can you post the new link for your pages?
