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.
