Go up one level in this thread


Both CT15 and Chess Master 9000 are engines I wanted to test head of Hiarcs 8.

With CM9000 the question of book is a problem. If I use book 'a' and CM9000 goes
down like Hiarcs 8 is now, ppl would exclaim that I used a bad book for CM. Seen
as CM9000 doesn't have a book in CB GUI theres no solution. I'm not sure how to
setup 40/120 + 20/60 + 30mins games in Lokasoft (for CT15) it seems to offer
only two clock levels.

After testing Shredder 7.04 and Fritz 8, Hiarcs 8 is the next best engine I own
which could be tested within the CB GUI.

regards
