I think that it is not a bad positional program relative to other programs. It sometimes finds tactics that other programs cannot find but it is also can be the opposite. I looked at the thinking lines of CM6000 and it is a stupid searcher. It most of the time search irrelevant lines and it proves that there is much to improve in the search algorithems of programs. A slow searcher that know to search the right lines can be better than every program in tactics. Uri
