Isn't it? Chessmaster is not for serious chess players. Chessmaster is definitely one of the strongest engines around. It is incredibly inexpensive. Personally, I like many of the other chess engines better, but I can definitely see the appeal of Chessmaster. making decisions as to "what is for serious players" can only be done by the serious players themselves. Chessmaster definitely does some things better than other chess engines. It has an ugly interface, does not connect to FICS and ICC and it does not process EPD in batches, so it is not all that appealing for me. Have you ever tried playing against it? I found the experience quite humilating. I have never felt humilated by any other chess engine. (Beaten quite regularly, but that's not the same thing).
