Hi Kurt,

Ray is in the process of running CM10th settings against other top engines (280
games each setting at 40 moves in 40 minutes as per his CM9000 testing.
Jason is running CM10th settings in matches against Shredder 9.
And for those interested in CM v CM, there's my CM10th Showdown.
Be patient :-)

Regards, Graham.
