On my Athlon 1.2 ghz CM8 appears to be as strong as Fritz 6, Gandalf_432g and
Junior 6. 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
