Yes, my tournament settings are very sympatethic to CM's weaknesses.  I don't
use tablebases because CM doesn't support them outside of it's GUI... and I use
a common neutral book.

I could go one step further and run shredder through polyglot in the CM GUI.
Maybe I should do that. :) I'll have to see if it is possible for both to use
tablebases this way.  Of course, shredder won't be able to use it's book by
sandro...  it's a tough life. :p
