Subject: CM6000 Question for owners of many chess programs

Author: Lawrence S. Tamarkin

I have noticed that there are many, many post about CM6000.  One very good
reason for this seems to be the selectivity of the chess engine regarding
sacrificial variations.  CM6000 seem to find the key move of tacticle positions
more often & quickly than all the other programs.  Even if it is not the
strongest, (& this is totaly unproved one way or another), the engine's
aggressivness is a very good reason for it popularity.

At least, that's how it seems to me.  When I load the same tacticle positions
into a varity of other programs, they do not seem to find the 'shot' nearly as
often.  Do CM6000 owner's (& owner's of other programs), agree about this?
If this has already been touched upon, please forgive me - there are so many
post:)
