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. :-) Didzis
