You can go to this page http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Ring/8448/compchess2.html#t08 were chessmaster has played almost a 100 40/2 games with excellent results surpassing all the top programs it recently beat rebel 9 7 - 2 in a 40/2 match on two P233s. Chessmaster for some reason benefits considerably more from faster processors than other programs, i believe this to be the main reason for it's much increased strength over the ssdf rating. Most people like to use CM5555 settings to enhance chessmasters performance, but the new settings in my oppinion only increase the strength slightly. I've played many games with Chessmaster vs Rebel, Genius and fritz 5 myself, when on comparable fast hardware (p233s) chessmaster most often has a slight edge in winning percentages. You can also find some tournaments on the gambitsoft page demonstrating the increased strength chessmaster has running on faster hardware. The winning resulys are even more spectacular because chessmaster has a non-optimized book. Chessmasters combinative ability surpasses all other programs i believe and it finds mate faster than any other program as well.
