Now I beleve play here means human against software. Watch can mean various things. However, I will state my opinion here: CM6000 is the most wonderful, delightful, entertaining, interesting, and fun program to play against. Notice I didn't use the word strongest there - the strongest program is I believe unknown at this time. Now where else can us humans play against Kasparov, Karpov, Fischer, etc,. and create tournaments with those and other personalities that range from real patzer to Grandmaster - right here on CM6000. You can even adjorn a tournament game with a sealed move - just like the real thing. The 2D wooden board looks exactly like a real wooden board. The big black and white chess pieces are beautiful. I enjoy looking at that chess board and piece set more than Hiarcs, Fritz, and Rebel. It is just like looking at the real thing. Therefore, I would say CM6000 is the most fun to play against, and the most exciting for the reason of creating tournaments and playing against all the different personalities, and the most enjoyable to watch or look at. All this and I haven't even mentioned the very interesting style of CM6000. It is not perfect - have to drag pieces instead of clicking on squares, but maybe the next version will change the drag pieces. Anyway, Kasparov is waiting for my move, so I have to go now. I certainly don't want to lose on time. :) Regards, Mel > >None of my other programs are able to make this sort of impact on the Hiarcs >program. > >I am waiting in anticipation for the upgrade to Shredder.
