Is there a change in the way it handles its own endgame tablebases? No, that's still the same. And I agree with everything Graham said. The engine is more balanced, and the new engine at the default settings is somewhat stronger than the engine in CM9000 (reasonable estimates are between 20-40 points). However, there is still some more testing needed to determine if the best user-created CM10 settings are equally better than the best CM9 settings. jm
