In my testing, Assassin seems to be very strong indeed. My CM9000 personality testing has so far comprised Assassin, Alliance, R1, T05 and Judge II each playing 40 games against Shredder 8, Deep Fritz 8, Hiarcs 9 and Chess Tiger 15. 800 games (160 for each personality) The results table is: Assassin 79.5/160 R1 77.0/160 T05 74.5/160 Judge II 72.5/160 Alliance 70.0/160 I haven't finished yet - Assassin has just played Deep Junior 8, and beat it 21.0 - 19.0. Alliance is playing now and of course the rest will follow. This is on a dual Athlon MP2800+, ponder on, 40 moves in 40 minutes repeating, 5-man tablebases, Fritz powerbook (optimised) with learning sliders at minimum. So to conclude, under these conditions Assassin seems to be very strong indeed. To have achieved basically a 50% record against some of the strongest engines available is impressive. After the Deep Junior 8 matches, I intend to add CM10th Creep into the mix by playing all the catch-up matches, to see how it compares. After this, I intend to keep going with at least one or two more engines so that in a couple of months time we have a pretty good picture of the comparative performance of the various personalities against a range of other engines. If I was starting a tourney today, and wanted to include a CM9000 personality, Assassin would be my number one choice.
