Subject: Bad Line Played By Chessmasters 5000 and 5500

Both CM 5000 and CM 5500 love to play the following line as Black:

1. d4, d5
2. c4, c6
3. Nf3, Nf6
4. Nc3, dc4
5. a4, Bf5
6. e3, e6
7. Bc4, Bb4
8. 0-0, 0-0
9. Nh4, Bg4
10. f3, Nd5?!
11. fg4, Qh4
12. e4!, Nc3
13. bc3, Bc3
14. Ra3, Bb4
15. Rh3, Qd8
Now Chessmaster is out of book.  I played:
16. e5
and no matter how long I let CM think, it always plays:
16...c5?
Other moves aren't very good either, but now:
17. d5, ed5
18. Qd3 seems to win in all variations, e. g.:
18...h6
19. Bd5, Nc6
20. Bh6!, Ne5
21. Bg7!!, Nd3
22. Ba1! forcing mate.
CM 5000 is an extremely strong player, despite its poor opening book and
often horrible endgame play.
