Hello Jorge
You are right, 5 games at 5m/g are statistically spoken nothing. As earlier
mentioned I have not tested (and am not going to do so) CM9_Utz12n at lower time
controls than 40'/40. I have never had interest in blitz games and furthermore I
consider matches between CM9-personalities (or e.g. Hiarcs732 vs Hiarcs8) to be
rather worthless. For me only matches vs other programs do count. By the way,
CM9_Utz12n has reached fifth place of 124 tested chess programs in the so called
WM-test of Manfred Meiler, behind some Fritz-versions but better than all other
top engines. Please have a look at

Kind regards
Kurt
