Complte Chess System Vs 2150 and 2175

Post by Fernando »

I know this info surely was posted, but dunno when and where, so let me ask to the savants here: How compare Complete Chess System to 2150 and 2175 of the same author?
I suppose it is better, stronger, but you are never sure...

I've played many games with the CP2150, CCSystem and CSTal DOS. CSTal is by far the strongest. CP2150 has a very interesting playing style
and is able to play nice and human like games especially at very high speed, because CP2150 does find very often better moves at ply 6 or 7.
The CCSystem is a bit disappontig, because it has an somewhat unbalanced playing style like a drunken chess master. Besides that the CCSystem
requires EMS for hashing, what is not always possible to enable under real DOS on actual hardware. The CC2175 seems to be similar to the CCSystem
but with a more balanced playing style and it uses also XMS for hashing, what's easy to enable under real DOS. An interesting position, occured in
a game of a strong human player against CP2150 under real DOS at 3.3 GHz: 5rk1/pp6/1n4p1/3p1rqp/2pB1n2/P1P2Q1P/6P1/1B2RRK1 b - -

[fen]5rk1/pp6/1n4p1/3p1rqp/2pB1n2/P1P2Q1P/6P1/1B2RRK1 b - - 0 0[/fen]
This position needs to avoid Nxh3+ and to find Nxg2:
