I doubt it.  CM6000/7000 is one of the strongest programs around.  At best, they
might be about equal.  At standard time controls, if either Yace or Crafty did
significanly better than ChessMaster I would be astonished.

After around 100 games of testing, you should be able to get statistically
significant results.

Perhaps the CM8000 program will have a better fascility for testing so that you
don't have to manually input the moves.  That would make testing it a whole lot
easier.

At any rate, the ChessMaster series of programs is a lot stronger than many
people give it credit for, I think.
