John I wrote about my first impressions on a freinds system, and there were a
few hicups, and people started calling me a cry baby. This even though
everything was working fine when I loaded the program on my system, which was
great news, I choose to keep quiet.

I have kept quiet cause there have been a couple on here who seem to forget or
simply do not know what support I gave this program in the past, and have
responded to my posts as though I am the Number 1 enemy of chessmaster, which of
course I am NOT.

That said, since CM6K, there has not been another program by chessmaster that
contained a new engine since CM8K, and any new king engine will be a great
engine, So my verdict is a thumbs up for the program, once I get my hands on
some of the more later programs and do some testing, I will be back to post how
CM8K is wiping butt of the other programs, which it will of course.
