For Chessmaster to be one of the strongest programs you can not use default
settings. It will get killed. The opening book sucks and its default settings
are not set up to get the most out of the engine. But if you know what you are
doing you can get much higher ratings then what SSDF shows. Many people besides
me have shown this to be true.
