Fernando,
           As some other posting alludes to: There is a known bug with some
CM8000 time controls. You state "answering instantly at any level". I hesitate
to interpret this as at any time-control. You might try Fisher time control and
see if that takes care of the instant move problem.  If you've already tried it
sorry for wasting your time.  Brian K.
