The main problem of the current data is that they are unbalanced. Some positions
were analyzed a few years ago with Crafty for 1 minite on Celeron-400 computer.
Another - for 3 minutes with Tiger and Shredder on 2GHz computer. Different
engines can evaluate the same moves strongly different. Some lines are deep and
some lines are short. So any who uses CAP should look at it critically.

CA team implemented a set of procedures that will make CAP well balanced. Some
things already done as compared with CAP that goes with CD version. But total
improvement demands a lot of time. Anyway I consider that current CAP data can
help in a lot of things. And its importance will grow.
