If I had to put money on CM6 vs H7, it would have to be on the latter.But it's
obvious by now that the so called "family" program (CM6) is up there with the
best of them, regardless of the outcome of this match. In any case, a narrow
victory by either program would not be of much value in assessing their
strengths, until they are both matched against other programs.
