But then, why is Mchess 8 doing so well here at 40/40? To me, it makes sense to
think that M8 will do better than M6/7 against humans and computers. It still
plays very active, but more sensible than before, so fast searchers won't take
advantage of the risky play so typical in M6/7. I noticed that Mchess 8 also did
very well in a tournament posted by Rudolf Klamert. I don't know why it didn't
do well in the SSDF games. Maybe Marty has something to say about all this.
