He did put CM6K in a few games and it did well, but he was not impressed with the analysis of CM5555 vs CM6K, he thinks CM5555 is stronger and also posted a reference to another person that did matches at different time controls for different CM6K settings (CM5555 was not included in these matches as I remember). If I remember correctly CM6K was strongest at 40/2hr, but not by much (1 game maybe out of less than 20) and CM6555 was better at faster time controls. I also remember that the author reported to Mindscape that the Default settings for CM6K are the strongest. I use CM6K "I am the next Bobby Fisher", Chessmaster, SS=20, ttables=24) on a 64M PII300 machine. I have CM5555 and I think CM6K is stronger, just my opinion and the opinion of the author. If I have mis-quoted Shep, it was not intentional. He may post a reply or you can visit his page: http://come.to/SCCS. He runs a great site. Best Regards, Chris Carson
