No, stronger against other engines does not at all mean its better for analysis. >And isn't CT15 stronger than CT14, We dont know http://www.talkchess.com/forums/1/message.html?293706 http://w1.859.telia.com/~u85924109/ssdf/list.htm http://www.talkchess.com/forums/1/message.html?293859 If CT15 is really stronger the gain is negligibly for Analysis. and Fritz 8008 stronger than Fritz 7008? It might get a worse SSDF rating. And isn't there a stronger >CM9 setting? The selective search parameter is most important for Analysis. 12 is the best if you give Chessmaster at least 30 seconds (and not more than 10 minutes) per position. King safety > 100 is also important. >I can believe that some upgrades or settings might handicap other features, but >I would honestly hope not.

This applies also for humans. >S.Taylor >S.Taylor
