English
Comparison between CM_9000 default and CM_9000 Utz12n (a personality created by Kurt Utzinger)
After having tested both versions we can say almost for sure that the CM9_Utz12n-setting is considerable stronger. This special CM9K-personality only lost one match vs Gambit Tiger 2.0 aggressive, which in our opinion is the strongest Tiger version. With the default settings we played 343 games 40'/40 and higher with a total score of 52 %. With the CM9K-X settings there were 390 games (13 matches of 30 games at 40'/40) played with a score of 62 %. It should however also be mentioned that we have not tested - and will not test - this strong setting in blitz games.

Supplementary of 27th December 2002
In the meantime we have also played matches vs the programs like Deep Fritz 7, Fritz 8, Hiarcs 8, List 504, Ruffian 1.0.1 and Shredder 7. And after a total of 510 games at level 40’/40, the total score of CM9 Utz12n is 58 %. The complete list can be seen below:.

German
Dies stellt ein Vergleich dar zwischen CM_9000 Original-Einstellungen und CM_9000 X, einer Persönlichkeit von Kurt Utzinger. Nach ausgiebigen Tests mit vielen Partien wagen wir mit grosser Sicherheit zu behaupten, dass das CM_9000 X Setting bedeutend stärker einzustufen ist als die originale CM_9000. Mit dem speziellen Setting resultiert nach 390 Partien 40'/40 eine Gewinnquote von 62 %, wobei nur das Match gegen Gambit Tiger 2 aggressiv (u.E. die stärkste Tiger-Version überhaupt) knapp verloren ging. In der Original-Einstellung wurden 343 Partien gespielt mit einem Gesamtscore von immerhin noch 52 %, lässt man aber hier die Amateure weg, so ergibt sich ein klares Minus mit 47 % (223 games/104.5-118.5).

Ergänzung per 27. Dezember 2002
In der Zwischenzeit haben wir auch noch Matches gegen die neueren Programme wie Deep Fritz7, Fritz8, Hiarcs8, List 504, Ruffian 1.0.1 und Shredder7 gespielt. Und nach total 510 Partien auf Stufe 40’/40 beträgt die Gewinnquote von CM9_Utz12n mit 58 % noch immer klar über der 50-Prozent-Grenze. Die bereinigte Totalliste befindet sich am Ende dieser Seite.

Conclusion / Schlussfolgerung

English
A good example to demonstrate how important it is to play as much games as possible, in any case,matches over 10 games only are not sufficient to prove anything.

Deutsch
Ein gutes Beispiel, das zeigt, wie wichtig es ist, eine genügend Anzahl Partien zu spielen. Auf jeden  Fall genügen Matches zu je 10 Partien nicht.
