Of course you are correct about that position, it is an endgame position
where cm8k has already been admittedly superior. Using what i call a "benchmark"
personality (max hash and max selectivity) for each program, my puter gave a ply
10 d4 from cm55 in 23 seconds, and cm8k did it at 7 ply in 3 ! seconds (very
strong indeed). Using the same setups in both programs, to complete a 14 ply
search in response to d4 cm55 took 15:48, and cm8k took 26:01. This is
consistant with the other midgame positions tested.
But "silly" ? The game is often won in the opening and midgame, long before
cm8k can come into its own. Since your customers "silly" concerns are
erronerous and inconsequential, the subject shall not be brought again.
