Greetings.  Below is a list of ChessMaster 8000's features...  As far as
"Full WinBoard compatibility" - does this mean that it can load WinBoard driven
engines into its own interface or that it can play online at chess servers (such
as ICC/FICS/CHESS.NET) with the assistance of WinBoard?

-elc.

========================================

-- New King Engine -- v3.12
-- Full Winboard Compatibility
-- You can now play any two Winboard engines
   against each other, and neither of them have to be a King engine. You can
   also see Chessmaster's analysis of the current position at the same time,
   meaning "infinite analysis" is finally supported.
-- Windows NT and Windows 2000 compatibility.
-- Hash table size is now a unique setting for each personality. You can have
   anywhere from no hash table, to 2GB (depending on your machine's available
   PHYSICAL memory).
-- Josh Waitzkin intermediate/advanced endgame tutorial
-- Bruce Pandolfini's "Match the Masters" (much like the old "Rate My Play"
   Chessmaster feature)
-- Swiss tournaments
-- Blindfold chess
-- 100 new Classic Games annotated by GM Larry Evans
-- Several new exercises where you have to achieve mate with only a
   certaincombination of pieces (KQvK, KRvK, KBNvK, KBBvK, KQvKN, KRvKN, KQvKR)
-- Updated database
-- More customizable interface
-- More accurate personality ratings
