Well, I only got one computer. I'm currently running a Super WB tournament, a
few BoC games, a few testgames and constantly setting up new or updated WinBoard
engines. Besides that I have a few projects of my own, so my computer is
somewhat overbooked. However, I'll try running a blitz match tonight between
Yace and another program. Any suggestions?

Exactly.

The biggest problem is probably book learning. There are several ways to do it I
think. It would be nice to hear how others have dealt with book learning.
Positional learning would also be nice.

Yes. You could get the impression that the settings frenzy is an antidote to
going cold turkey on Chessmaster before the new one arrives :o)).

No, I meant settings tuning within the realms of the Chessmaster GUI and Yace
tuning against other WinBoard engines. CrossGUI-testing sounds like asking for
trouble due to the lack of autoplay features incorporated in CM6K.

Best wishes...
