John, I agree. I would never recommend a screwdriver for pounding nails. I would
never recommend Chessmaster for interactive analysis. Doesn't mean there is
anything wrong with either screwdrivers or Chessmaster. It does mean that
Chessmaster is a more limited tool, in this area, than many other engines. The
right tool for the job!
