Chessmaster (the personality) was caught cheating against Gandalf (the program)today, or to be more precise he got a priviledged treatment from his own GUI. Chessmaster-Gandalf 16 1 3 It's a pity I didn't keep the .pgn but it was a real mock-up. Chessmaster must have hogged the PC. The very same Gandalf , that is one of the champs of the Winboard and Chessbase Gui's, with the same settings, made moves a kid wouldn't make. Probably the default is: Chessmaster always ponder on The winboarders always ponder off Also, it seems Chessmaster gets a time bonus for being a native personality , what is apparently done on purpose to put Chessmaster in a good light and not due to the fact that the path is a couple of folders shorter. And when Chessmaster after all get's into a tough position, the operator is asked to call the game a draw. He probably threw one game to keep him honest. On 2 PC's of comparable strength the result of the tournament may be the opposite.
