well from results I have seen, and from the small amount of games I have played
against Rebel 10c and Shredder 2, CM6K has handled them quite well. Still ahead,

So it made number one, and had its day in the sun, so even if it drops on the
SSDF I will not be worried. It has already proved itself against the rest, and
stood up to the challenge. So whoever is No1 and no matter where CM6K stands, I
do not mind. CM7K will be out soon, and it is said to be even stronger, so the
chessmaster bandwagon will roll on.

 I think someone will have to play Chessmaster II on the new playstation when it
comes out. I think that will easily be in the top ten for programs, did you see
the specs I posted for the new playstation 2000, impressive indeed In gameplay
and processing, said to be on Par with a PIII 500.
