The reason why people "fuss" is because it is now possible to run CM8000 aka
theking with much stronger books, and by the way theking is as strong as a lot
of the other progs like Shredder5, Fritz etc, it seems to me like the CM8 GUI
slowed the engine down and made it play weaker, i know i have had much better
results with theking since he "moved" he now has a stronger book, book learn and
endgametable acces!! all the options i was ranting about was missing in the CM8
ver. and feel i was not the only one ranting.
