Go up one level in this thread


John,

He's definitely wrong with regard to CM 3000 as that was a home-grown stopgap
between the Spracklens CM 2100 and De Koning's CM 4000+.  CM 8000 is definitely
stronger than CM 3000 but I have always rated De Koning's engine even The King
0.5 which I had on the ChessMachine hardware.  IMO there was a jump in strength
going from CM 5500 to CM 6000 but I've no concrete data :-((

It would be interesting to see what CM 4000 could do on todays hardware - I
think it'd be up there with the best

Regards,

Steve Maughan
