ChessMaster 9000 probably sells more copies of their program in an hour than all the other chess program do in a month. I believe ChessMaster 9000 is likely the best. But of course my definition of "best" is not the same as yours. I don't care if Fritz can do a billion nodes per second evaluation over ChessMaster. To me engine strength (at this point) is a non-issue. So. Because I value other aspects of a chess program, (other than just strength), I get ridiculed. Par for the course for this forum. Chris
