Chessmaster can find mates faster than other programs.
I saw cases when chessmaster could see mate in 15 in less than 1 second.

Chessmaster was the leader of the ssdf list on p200MMX and it is one of the best
programs and I believe that it was the best program one year ago.

There are many options to change the parameters with chessmaster when there are
almost no options to change with Fritz's engines.

You can change the value of pieces and many positional factors in the evaluation
of chessmaster when you cannot change the value of pieces with most chessbase
engines and you cannot change parameters like mobility or passed pawn
in most chess programs.
