Hi John After all the previous posts on questioning the strength of CM8K ( including the endgame ), and the confusion over which version the tester is using 1.00 , 1.01 and 1.02 I have decided to try it out for myself and post the results here. So before I play 50 games and someone says - "ahh you need to set the floggle toggle switch to make it play stronger", I could do with some advice. I have.... CM8K version 1.02 Fritz 6e CM is playing on a Tosh laptop Portege 3440CT with 64Mg memory ( 500Mhz? ) Fritz is playing on a PC AMD Athlon 550 Mhz with 128Mg memory ( I don't have the funds for 2 identical PC's - Please note Santa- maybe this year ) CM transposition table is set to 16Mg,(the maximum I can make it) and using the opening book. Fritz has insisted on table bases being loaded and a hash size of 32mg, and I have set it to use it's opening book Auto232 player set up and working OK. I have decided to set the time controls to 40 moves - 40 minutes ( purely because both are a default on each package ) Now, is there anything else that I should set up to ensure that the matches are fair ( except from the hardware that I can't change ---yet ) I will post the results and games here every 10 games ( CM & Fritz analysis too if anyone is interested ) Thanks for any input. Scott
