Chessmaster 9000 Test


The idea behind this test is to play Chessmaster 9000 versus several different opponents to get a closer idea about its strength. Extra motivation is that Chessmaster 9000 is not (yet?) tested by the Swedish reference list SSDF. Furthermore this test will build a good base for further tuning which might improve Chessmaster's strength. Based on the soon available games, weaknesses will become obvious and can be (almost?) equalized by changing the engine settings in a senseful way. At least results will exist which can be compared with (pseudo?-) improvements in the engine settings.
