How can you calculate if it is 10%,20% or 30%? I know that a program is more than 0% root processor if I see cases when the evaluation is changed not because of deeper search. Example: I remember cases when I analyzed a game with Genius3 and Genius gave me an advantage of 0.5 pawn. The program wanted to castle and expected castling from my opponent at all time controls. These moves were exactly the moves that were played in the game. After giving the moves to Genius3 it suddenly saw no advantage for me and not because of seeing deeper. When I see cases like this I know that the program does preprocessing. I know from my experience that i never saw things like this with chessmaster so it seems to me that chessmaster does not do preprocessing and if it does it is very small and does not change the evaluation by more than 0.1 pawn.
