It is with pleasure that I subit my wishes for the coming Chessmaster 9000. In
principle my list could be rather long but I am concentrating to a few points
that in my opinion seems to be very important to improve the GUI and handling
with Chessmaster:

1.)
Autoplayer RS232 integrated

2:)
Simple possibility to switch between player/analysis mode [solution similar to
ChessBase-GUI, Shredder5 and other programs]

3.)
Delete buttons "White" "Black" and "Chessmaster" in the "Thinking Lines" window
>> just allow to switch between "Analysis Mode" on/off [in this mode avoid any
relation to the need of specifying a time control; use instead the output
information of th permanent brain like other programs]

4.)
Easy way to load another engine [personality]

5.)
Allow to also show the "Thinking Lines" in the "Tournament Room"

6.)
Improve solution regarding copy protection [avoid to have inserted the
Chessmaster-CD each time starting the program]

Well that's it, am I not a modest guy?
