Klaus,

CM6000 has a lousy opening book and wouldn't stand a chance in hell against the
fierce Paderborn competition.  CS Tal II is a lot weaker than any of the
contestants and with an elo rating of 2300 would be creamed.

Remember that we are not dealing with SSDF here.  We are dealing with machines
that put out at +1,000,000 nps  and have multi-gigabyte endgame tablebases.  A
Volkwagen can go faster than me on my bicycle but it aint no match for a
Ferrari.
