Afterwards I must say that it was a good idea to buy Shredder5 and to let the world chess champion play vs CM8_Utzinger. Game by game went over and I could barely true my eyes: 0-1, 0-2, 0-3, 0-4, 0-5, 0-6, 0-7, 0.5-7.5, 1-8, 1.5-8.5 in favour of the very strong Shredder5 of Stefan Meyer-Kahlen. As you can see a real desaster for my Chessmaster. Having most of the games followed live it must be admitted that the result goes in order. Shredder was better in the opening, played the middle game with more accuracy and was outstandingly stronger in the endgame. Chessmaster got never the slightest chance to form a winning attack. I think we have an extreme example here of two programs where the one [CM8_Utzinger] is condemned to normally use against the other one. Nevertheless, the total score of CM8_Utzinger seems still reasonable: RESULTS CM8_Utzinger with kostick.obk Standing per 29th April 2001, 09.00 Settings CM8_Utzinger Style: A/D=-10; SoP=100; Ra=0; MDS=99; SS=8; CoD=0, TT=64, P=on Positional: MP=0, CoC=110; Mob=125; KS=150; PP=110; PW=100 Material: own Q=9.2; opp Q=9; own R=5.2; opp R=5; own B=3.2; opp B=3; K=3; P=1 Download address for kostick.obk = http://members.aol.com/br5an/cmtourn.zip Where different hardware is used the program with the black color has always the faster PC and each program program receives the fastest computer the same number of times.
