Why don't you convince yourself by running a 50 blitz game match on your brand
new computer? I think the gap between Yace and Cmet/Phalanx is big enough at
blitz for a mere 50 game match to convince you.. Lg2000 might be one of those
that Yace is not much superior to.

Well I suspect even Dieter might have some problems coming up with those so
quickly..That is, if we are talking about a good implementation of book learning
and tbs..

Because Chessmaster 8000 with a brand new engine is coming out?

Testing as in tuning various parimeters and running tournaments of Yace Queen+
vers Yace ss 10 for example? I don't think so..
