I played games in series of 100, using cm faber\pilz with cm6k.obk against both
Fritz 5.16 and Rebel 10 however this was prior to joining this group and was
done mainly out of curiousity, since when I purchased Fritz 5 I had believed
that it could beat anything. I as stated previously played games at varying time
controls from 5 secs move, 15 secs moves, 30 secs move to 2-1/2 hours game.
Times are per side !!. I found that the cm didn't lose a single match (match
meaning at the set time control total games W,D,L) it was then that I switched
to the Nunn positions and tried the same thing with the same basic result.

As I have also stated before although I believe cm faber\pilz to be the
strongest current program (excluding Fritz 5.32, MCP8, Hiarcs 7) and remember
before everyone jumps on me it is only my opinion, Fritz 5 is still my favourite
program.
