I imagine that PLENTY of testing >will be done by folks here, anyway.... ;-) I think that will take quite sometime, without the autoplayer :-) As I recall we never really knew how strong CM6K actually was till the SSDF started testing it. It is unlikely I assume they would be willing to do all that again manually, and who could blame them. What you'll likely see is many many posts of game 5, 15, 20 I doubt you'll see many at longer controls. And that's pretty much how it went with CM6K. I think IMO a lot of readers here will not buy it at first till it is known how strong it actually is and that could take months with only manually playing available. With luck by the time that happens CM9K will be coming and if by then it is known that CM8K was better than CM6K, it'll only be $10. Sarah.
