I personally love CM6000 as I got it for free by winning an online fun chess tournament ; I didn't think the price was serious and really was delighted when I found it in my post some 12 weeks later :-) . CM is one of the few programs I love to play against for myself as I think playing against the created "human" personalities is very much fun . When it is about engine tweaking done by users I have serious doubts . Nice example is the REBEL contest where actually nothing impressive for real games was found by the testing community at all when reducing chessknowledge would have been very effective ( Century1.0=>1.2 ) ; I understand though why this wasn't discovered. CM seems to be not overly tuned for strength at all , so this is maybe the reason users "found something" . I would be very surprised if the same thing was possible with Shredder ! >Since Shredder 4 chess Knowledge is superior to >CM6000 specially for analysing games. >Pichard When it is about chess knowledge : how come you think Shredder is superior to CM here ? They seem to be quite close to me in knowledge only the knowledge is in different areas of the game . As you love tuning parameters in chessprograms ; the Shredder changeable parameters seem to be highly influenced by the Genius ones ; so Genius would be another test area for you . And as mentioned above Rebel Century really is a challenge for you ;-) Or you could try amateur programs . "The Crazy Bishop" has tons of parameters and "gromit2.20 " did too , although the last one is not in development anymore . pete
