i bought cm4,6, and 8000.
i did not buy cm9000 so far.
the odd numbers seem to be problematic for me :-))

it might be that it is slower and better.
my point was that the programs should IMO learn to develop a plan, to
create a thesis instead of doing SEARCH and NPS.

i will wait until ssdf has tested CM9000 and THEN decide to buy it or not.

It was not my intention to call all programs going backwards.

Only that i have the feeling that the competition with fritz
is not making the programs much more cleverer.
