And I am telling you again that you can play a hundred years against and between these 2 versions and you will not find a significant difference. Nobody questions that Johan de Koning is among the top chess programmers. It was his engine which turned the Chessmaster series from cannon fodder (CM 2000/3000) to a serious program (CM 4000 onwards). But my impression is that the KING is too good to be improved and that Johann is working on a completely new approach and that he will come up with a new program some time in the future.
