I took about a min. and Vlad less or no more than 2 sec., it isn't meant to show the power of CM which is quite amazing at times and not an easy opponent at all. CM5000 is weak compared to Johan's CM9K or CM10. I was still winning many G/5s in those days, now it's very very tough! And I'm not getting younger either....:( Best Daniel
