It is not fair to play this way against CM6000, because ChessMaster eats all CPU
time (or almost).
It is best to:
1) turn permanent brain OFF in both engines
2) follow Didzis' guidelines on how to play with CM on one computer. The page is
http://open.konts.lv/usr/Didzis/index.html but unfortunately I cannot access it
anymore (Didzis???)

Maybe another program has messed up Tiger's installation. You could try to
reinstall the program?
