Is the SSDF libing in a cave? This problem was mentioned here in great detail in the original version and the change made with the patch. Effectively doubling the speed of CM8K will help some but I suspect this will be partly offset by the "Learning" features of it's opponents. I don't know how you can effectively test CM8K vs the Tigers since the Tigers refuse to play CM8K from the black side. Maybe the Chessbase version will work better in this respect than the Lockasoft version. Also I believe CM8K fans should not get too excited about it's prospects on the SSDF list. I believe the other programs have improved more than Chessmaster in the last 2 years. Mostly because of the lack of book learning,lack of a better opening book and lack of tablebases. I hope I'm wrong but my own testing is the reason for my skepticism. I feel sure it will not be number 1. Jim
