Once again to the same point:
Maybe we (Harald Faber, Micheal Cummings, me, someone else) can come to the
final decision about doing those CM tests against the other top programs? To
make the story short, I WILL include CM6555 as an opponent for Chess Tiger 11.7
in my tests. I can play it against Fritz 5.16, Junior 5, Rebel 10, Mchess8 etc.
as well. We just have to decide who is playing what. I propose to limit
ourselves to 1hour/game (for each side)as this will be a manual testing. :-)
