I won't repeat a mammut-testing like I did with N98-MCP7, I have seen enough.
Testing should be done by SSDF who have equal hardware and much more time. :-)
I will only do some smaller tests SSDF will never do although they'd have the
possibility, in this case Genius3 on K6-200 is interesting.
For the strength of MCP8 I can say that past showed MCP always in the top5. In
tournament vs other programs it may not be the strongest but for play against
humans it is equal to Hiarcs and Rebel. For me it has the most attractive and
for humans inconvenient style, sharply followed by Hiarcs and The King. So if
you want to play against your program or do overnight analysis you can't do
wrong with MCP. Only alternative for this intention is Hiarcs6 because Hiarcs7
will never offer enough for the double prize.
