If so then your investigations differ a lot from mine and >facing so many games I will correct my statement. So, did you? With the original >CM6k book? On the faber\pilz settings I use the mentor.obk. However all testing was done using the nunn opening positions as posted on chessbase to give as equal a position as possible and to see only engine strength. I have played games against the standard settings using 40/2h, 1min move, 30 secs move, 15 secs move, 5 secs move. Most of my investigation's (games) have been played against other settings than the standard, since I found initially right off the bat that the faber\pilz settings easily beat the standard settings, at all time controls. After reading what I read here I was shocked to see that others get results where the standard settings beat faber/pilz, therefore at this moment I have an auto tourney running standard v faber/pilz at 40/2h tourney is set for 100 games. This tourney is with the mentor.obk as I have already seen that faber/pilz will crush the CM using nunn. All tourneys I played used the 100 game mark as standard and all games are played using the nunn openings as posted at chessbase, excluding the current tournament just started. I also played the faber/pilz settings against itself with one using the mentor.obk and the other using the cm6k.obk and found the mentor book to win a 100 game tourney by a score of 57-43. As I stated I have also used the CM6000 faber\pilz mentor.obk v Fritz 5.0, v Rebel 10, and CM 6000 faber\pilz v Fritz 5.0 and v Rebel 10 using the nunn openings and found that neither Fritz or Rebel can win a match at 40/2h v CM6000 faber\pilz. These matches are on identical hardware 233 mmx both with 64 meg EDO ram. I get a Fritz mark of 155 and 186,000 positions per sec with hash set at 46,000. I am not at all in love with the CM 6000 and find that Fritz is the most user friendly program and is my favourite, however as stated I have not found anything that competes with the CM 6000 faber/pilz settings, including I should add the CM 5500 faber\pilz v cm 6000 faber\pilz where I also find the 6000 wins by normally a margin of around 59-41 at most time controls.
