This may be the right track to follow, because most test positions are tactical.
It wouldn't be unusual that program's new version has lost some speed, but has
gained more practical strength. But one would expect though, that some
situations should be found at which - compared to CM6k - the new version makes
significantly better positional decisions, shows better knowledge, or the like.

Has somebody a comparision between match results of CM6k/CM7k (same engine) and
CM8k against the same opponents and under the same conditions? I'm afraid we do
not know at the moment, if CM8k performes better that CM6k would, against others
that previous version of itself (which may be misleading).
