About King
IMHO
I have an elo of 2164 but even then I could not beat Chessmaster 5000 once in a
blitz game !! I drew twicw.
Unless u r above 2200 atleast it is difficult to beat these monsters.
I think ur estimated rating is wrong as if u have beaten crafty, it must be
around 2100 on a high end machine. By the way u did not mentioned the pc u r
using for playing these games.

King is an amazing engine which was observed in engine to engine matches that I
conducted long time back. (No new testing done). One weaknes i sa was probably
in endgame even though this is the case with a old version, I have not yet
purchased CM 10th edition, and only have CM8000, so probably this has been
sorted out in new version. Also i have not seen lots of testing done by users of
this forum of King engine and very few games of King posted here.
