   As far as I'm concerned, chess programming in general seems to have
 hit the wall about 4 years ago. Since then, only incremental increases
 in playing strength. My last purchase, CM8K, over a year ago, held it's
 own against the best recently in a 100 round tourney.. won the tourney
 in fact albeit by a small margin.
   I admire the skills of a good chess programmer, but just get the
 feeling we are relying on hardware improvements in recent times.
  I might lash out on Hiarcs8 or CT15. I'll flip a coin to decide which.
