I have only played 2 games. First was Chess Tiger 13.0 vs CM8K at 60'+10". The second game was played at 40/60 minutes. I switched because CM8K did not seem to use the Fischer time controls very well. In the 40/60 game ChessMaster 8000 had about 1 hour/30 minutes left at the end of the game so it did not use it's time very well in this game either even though it won. I wondere how good ChessMaster would be if it used it's time allowed. The ChessMaster win was a very interesting "Tactical" game where CM8K traded a minor piece for 3 pawns. In the early middle game both programs thought it was winning. ChessMaster proved to be correct. Hardware was 2 Athlon 900 Thunderbirds with 256 Meg Ram so the 40/1hour game should be about equal to a 40/2hours on a K6-450.
