I think the jury is still out regarding CM8000 compared to CM6000, which IMO (I
think most would agree) is the strongest of the previous CMs.  With regards to
CM2100 this is a completely different engine written by the Spracklens circa
1990.  It was quite weak even in its day and I do remember Rex chess thrashing
it.  IMO all of the CM range is considerably stronger than CM 2100.

That said, it is irrelevant if CM 8000 loses one game to ANY program i.e. has
virtually no statistical meaning.  I'm sure in a series of 100 games CM 8000
would lose one match to CM 5000 and probably also one to CM 2100.

Regards,

Steve
