Why? The King was one of the strongest programs long before it became the engine of the chessmaster series. It was on the top of the SSDF list for a very long time (one year? I don't remember precisely) before Genius 2.0 appeared. Would you expect the engine to suddenly become much weaker because it is released in a mass-market program? I agree about the utterly useless bells and whistles, by the way. The only Chessmaster program I have bought is CM4K, which I disliked so intensely that I quickly removed the program from my hard disc and decided never to buy another version of Chessmaster. Fortunately, the King engine is also included in TascBase... Tord
