I don't believe >>infiltration with the black king will get anywhere but who knows. Playing CM6K on a single PC against another program I do not like. And I find that it hampers the the programs play. It likes to hog the CPU so let it. Not letting it have the power and space it wants is like cutting a runners legs off. I have played CM6K against Shredder 2 on a simgle PC and had it also played the game with CM6K by itselt on another computer and anylysing the game at the same time controls. And I found that the play and analysis was very different. That is why I do not like playing program on the same computer. The results are very dubious. And yes I do know what to do to play 2 programs on one computer and set everything up correct, but CM likes power. so give it to it if you want its best
