Hello Thorsten,
So far my results have been very mixed.  I can only say have patience.  I know
you have only had the program a short while so take your time in evaluating it.
I am trying to do the same.  But so far I have played a lot of "short" matches
at medium time controls.  I can only say CM8K seems to be on par with most of
the programs I have but no way to say if it's better or worse than any
particular program.  Unlike you, I can't look at the moves and make a decision
about the program.  I have to see many games and have some real data.  This is
mostly because I am a very poor chess player.  I have played 2 games vs Shredder
5 at a time control of Game/5 hours.  Shredder won the first and the second was
a draw.  As usual CM8K used a lot less time than Shredder.  I'm still not
convinced that the Fischer/Sudden death time controls are Ok.
Jim
