SO, sorry but you are not talking about the same program i >play against. Sorry, I am basing this on my copy of CM 6000, all I said is that I have previous copies of CM, since the early beginning, and that was the style the engine played, and it has been improved since. All chess engines are prisoners of the style or heuristics that the programmer designed. Of course there are positions that CM 6000 will find the right move and Fritz 5.16 will fail, I said that in my posting, and I said that in positions which static elements are predominant CM will find the right move, however, in complex positions, which dynamic elements and hidden resources are present, CM 6000 will fail to find the right plan, and Fritz will find the right one. My point was, one must not be blind in using only one chess engine to analyze a chess position, but one must consider the type of position then apply the appropriate one. It is like penicilin being misused in the medical field, at one time it was thought to be a miracle drug, and a lot of doctors prescribed to its patients, now it is alarming to find that some bacterias are becoming immune to penicilin due to the abuse of the drug, that is, over prescription of the use of the drug when it was not needed. So the same happens when one becomes blind to one type of chess engine. If you want to improve your game in chess, you must be flexible.
