PS: If most Chessmaster owners know about this feature in Shredder 4, I believe
that a lot of them Just like myself won't wait for the next version of the King
engine to arrive in CM 8000, since this was probably the only feature that I
enjoyed the most in CM6000. Since Shredder 4 chess Knowledge is superior to
CM6000 specially for analysing games.
