Go up one level in this thread


 Not to put more oil on fire, but I always thought CM was a toy for IM and
GM players. I have yet to hear any of the very top players say they train with
cm6000.. (perhaps they do in secret when they have time to waste but none of
them has yet endorsed it).
 CM is no doubt an excellent value for the lower rated players with all it's
tutorials and personalities and board configuartions. This is clearly aimed at
the mass market, and I don't say it's a toy because of it's price: the price is
irrelevant.
 Very strong players have different needs, their time is limited, they want the
maximum out of a chess program (the meat of it, not tutorials and "gimmicks").
After you are done with teh gimmicks, you are left with the program itself, so
tutorials and such is irrelevant in the long run.

 I will wait for CM8000 and beyond.
