To CM followers: Why should I? Yesterday I played a game against CM6000, my current crop. It played running in my faster machine, a relatively modest one for actual standards: 500 Mhz. And I was crushed without pity. BTW, a funny thing happened: I had forgotten that CM measured the score in the way of giving + scores to white and - scores to black, ever, no matter the player, so when I saw -0.56 or so I thought I was winning because I had white. That is a sign of how equal the position was in order for me to believe such a thing. And then, on a sudden, from the blue, he stabbed me and killed me in just a row of 5 or 6 moves. So, I do not need a more powerful engine. Now, then, what other reason I have to purchase it? Database? I do not care. Las time I studied a game played by other guys was in 1957. ¿Pandolfini or Waitzkin course perhaps? What CM8000 has that CM6000 does not and that deserves the 30 bucks or so, without counting shipping and mail expenses? Every and each answer will be appreciated. Fernando
