Chessmaster didn't participate in CCT-3, so I fail to see the point of your
reasoning.

CM8000 might be weaker or even significantly weaker than CM6000. For that
matter, it could just as well be stronger. Without results noone knows, which
have been mentioned quite a few times by now. However, you can't make any such
conclusions based on the results of CM8000 alone. As a matter of fact, the lack
of an updated opening book, learning and tablebases are significant
disadvantages in this day and age. And it guarantees an absolute loss to all
semi-recent engines given the SSDF match format IMO. That would most likely
apply to CM6000 as well.
