Chessmaster blitz - CM9000 Tribute

[Chris Tatham]

Hi All

I've been busy of late with other things, but in the absence of any other results from CM devotees, I thought I would revisit the CGBT gauntlet and test out one of the latest promising CM settings - CM9000 Tribute.

After a couple of cycles 'Tribute band' seemed a more appropriate moniker, but after a slow start Tribute recovered strongly and completed the gauntlet with a score of 596.5 and takes first place! Good job by Graham - he now has the top 3 places

Arguably, CM10th Paralyse remains the 'best' setting tested:

Another 3.5 points to go for the 60 percent score.

Chris,

Did you also test CM10th Guardian ?

[Graham Banks]

Thanks Chris!

Regards, Graham.

Chris,

Did you also test CM10th Guardian ?

Wilhelm has also put out a final setting (CM10th Descent) which heads his CEGT Chessmaster rating list.

You CM guys will never give up, I'll believe it when I see it

Wilhelm's words, not mine!

Cock de Gorter and Luis Barutti continue to test and develop new CM settings, many of which are amongst the best also.

Hi Ray / Graham

Thanks for your interest here. I pretty much retired from CM testing and have naively been waiting patiently for CM11th but as there seems to be some recent interest with new settings and tourneys (even you Graham! ), I will perhaps run through just a few more including Descent, Guardian and another one from Cock.

Thanks & best wishes


Chris
