Allo,

I can agree with this whole heartedly .. playing against Fritz or such, you make
a mistake, and it will take your pieces and eventually win.  Against CM, you
don't even have to make a mistake .. it's like an avalanche coming down the
mountain.. :P  If you DO make a mistake, it will clamp down on your position and
give you the feeling that you're slowing being crushed by a garbage compactor..

The impression when getting beaten by other programs is "Oops, I blundered".
The impression when getting beaten by CM is "OUCH" :P


Regards,
Adrien.
