As I like to do from time to time, I tested the latest version of the excellent program, Tao (v5.6), against the default CM9000 personality. In this case, it was a 20-game match at G-30. Both engines were running with their default settings, except there was NO pondering. Neither program used tablebases in their searches (The King because it cannot do this, and Tao because I do not have the Nalimov TBs), but I did allow both programs to use the de Koning tablebases for "best play" if the position got down to 5 pieces or less. The computer was a P4-2.4. The result was 13.5-6.5 (+12 =3 -5) for The King. Bas, if you would like me to test your new version under any other circumstances, I would be very happy to do so.
