Something must be wrong with the CM9-GUI (v1.0.1). Some days ago I posted a position with the following comments: Is the new Chessmaster 9000 (TheKing 3.23) running better under Fritz7-GUI? I am somewhat puzzled but this may be true. When testing the position [D]8/8/K6p/6p1/8/8/k5PP/8 w - - 0 1 I got different and partly worse results under CM9-GUI whereas under Fritz7-GUI using Wb2Uci.eng and Wb2Uci.exe the test can be repeated with still the same solution time and evaluation. In the meantime I have found a much better example where CM9 finds the winning move 1.Kg2 only after more than 9 minutes on (P4 1800/32 MB hash). When however using TheKing 3.23 under Fritz7-GUi with Odd Gunnar Malin's adapter Wb2Uci.exe, the program finds the solution at once showing mate announcement.
