At the moment i am running a tournament with CM8 vs. Gandalf_432g 40/120 20 games. However the results i have already from CM8 is VERY good and they are certantly better than the results i got with CM5500 and CM7 (which had the same engine) IMHO it is up there with the 10 best progs on the market at the moment!!! Have a nice day
