Enrique should know better than to compare program strength like that when played on faster hardware. I have heard many times that programs play better with certain processors. So in that case we can already say that CM6K will be better than Fritz on the 450 machines since it is ahead of the rest on the 200MMX machines. How do we know that CM6K playing in a 450 machine will not play like a super GM and kill all other programs. We have already seen from games posted on here that CM6K has beaten Tiger is a series of games on hardware faster than the SSDF 200MMX machines. I have had email fro Chris when we were having a debate that he made a comment that he thinks for a while yet tiger will remain number one, and that CM6K with the KING of all engines will be one of its toughest opponents. Plus with rumors of inflated results, maybe tigers results will change in time to come. And now that other programmers will have a chance to see how it plays, when they do their next engine upgrade then it just might play a bit or allot better than tiger. Only time will tell. But the fact remains and that is all I am stating, that CM6K is No1 on the 200MMX machines. One note, has anyone bothered to test tiger on the 200MMX machines to see if the program is way ahead of the field, or just performs better on 450 machines. That way you will prove to me that it is better than CM6K. (which I still rank as the best.) And has defied people predictions that after the list that it ranked No1 that it would drop to about 5th or 6th place on the 200 machines in the following lists.
