I do not have the games or the actual results, however, and the testing was very informal (because of what is described in the next paragraph). There was no testing between CM8000 and CM6000. To be blunt, with the move to Winboard compatibility, this was really a case of "burning your bridges after you cross them", so Johan's engine was taken on good faith (as it always is without fear) as an improvement over previous versions. The 2nd place in the Dutch Open didn't hurt either.... ;-) jm
