First of all, the performance is much weaker outside the CM GUI by design. That is the security that is implemented to "prevent" use of The King outside Chessmaster. Basically, it just searches 1K positions and returns a move, almost immediately, and almost certainly a very poor move. But, I'm still a bit confused about your "splash box" that says "Yes No". What brought up this box? What was going on at the time? The USER can bring up a dialog by pressing CTRL+N (the same as the "New Game" menuitem, which brings up the Game Settings dialog). Then you can just press OK and a new game will start with the same settings as the previous game (assuming that you didn't change any game settings). Is that what you're referring to? jm p.s. Finally a vote in favor of the graphics from somebody on this board. Hooray! ;-)
