Yes, it is. It is clearly better than Shredder 7.04 default and Fritz 8 in that kind of tactics on single processor machines. Gambit Shredder 7.04, Fritz 7.0.0.6 and Fritz 7.0.0.8 are also very strong in tactics but usually not so fast. As far as I can tell Gambit Tiger is clearly weaker. I highly recommend also Knight Dreamer 3.2 for that kind of tactics. It can be amazingly fast in some positions. > >The way to find out is to look at positions from games when all top programs >fail high or fail low after enough time and to find if chessmaster gets the fail >high or fail low faster in most of the cases. > >I have not chessmaster9000 so I do not know. > >Uri According to my own tests on single processor systems Chessmaster 9000 Pillen,CM 9000 WH and CM 9000 AntiCM are almost equal strong in tactics. They were clearly faster than CM_SKR or CM default in most positions. Its hard to tell which is the best known personality regarding tactics. I would recommend Chessmaster Pillen settings Michael
