I even hear a lot of CM fans telling their CM6000 settings are much better than the new version. In my private games I see CM8000 winning and winning though ; maybe this is as I play with "inferior" hardware : two PIII500s using Blitz or Fisher time control ( sth like Game in 1 hour ) . There are two programs I miss very much in the SSDF list : CM8000 and Yace 0.99.x . I think both would do _very_ well and CM8000 might very well be the next number 1. I understand the SSDF wants to avoid playing games manually but with the various Winboard autoplaying tools availlable they'll maybe rethink their decision . pete
