Rebel 10c after some 40/2 games against CM6K and against me at faster time
settings (which is not much of a test) seems to show a little improvement but
not a great jump.

I am amused how people can post here that it is this or that, can beat this
program or is better than that. I think you need a hell of allot of games to
even give an indication as to how good it is, and even then it will never be
proof.

After two games against CM6K it is 1.5 - 0.5 to CM6K. Even though this is no
indication as to which is the best, I still see no great improvement only a
little bit. I also read that James has played two games also with this result
reversed so there you go.

So settle down people, great that people are exicted, but some are stating
fantasy, cause at the moment that is all you can state.
