In my Test games against Chess Tiger 11.5, CM6000 performs better the CM5000 this far. There is one important aspect you MUST to consider to get the best out of CM6000: When creating the new player, you have to specify : "I am the next Fischer...." I used to specify "I don't read manuals..." first, and CM got defeated by Genius 5 DOS at any time control almost always. Then I changed it to "I am the next fischer" and CM won 3 games in row...
