You have told it to me several weeks ago. Have yo read my post in the thread from yesterday (proclamation to all cm8000 fans) http://www.icdchess.com/forums/1/message.shtml?167172 There you can find my opinion concerning the testing of different personalities. But first of all I'm interested in the following questions: 1. Have you tested the Chessmaster 8000 against top-engines like Fritz6, Shredder5 and Chess Tiger 14 and which results there are? 2. The Chessmaster 9000 will be released with book learning, position learning and Tabelbases ? regards and thanks Rainer
