I think you may be making a generalization here. You may be right about Fritz
(and others I may be unaware of). But The King engine in CM9000 actually
searches a tiny bit SLOWER in terms of NPS than the engine in CM8000, and yet
independent tests (mostly by users on this board) have shown it to be anywhere
from 30-100 points stronger than the previous version, thanks to improvements in
the EVALUATION (or, to use your term, quality).
