I don't know if it's better or not, John, but for me, it's just as boring to play blitz with as 6000, which is really boring when you compare it with Gambit Tiger. What I really wish you could do is to get your lower rated players (2000 to 1400 specifically) to play consistently at the level they're supposed to play at. I mean, you must know better than I do that your players in those rankings will make a real dumbass move and then three grandmaster moves. Your 1400 and 1500 players make moves sometimes that 1400 and 1500 players don't make. And having to leave the cd in the cd-rom--that's a bunch of crap. By the way, at this moment Chessmaster 8000 is posted on one of the cd-image groups on the usenet--no, I didn't post it and, no, I didn't download it there--I bought it and registered it. Nimzo 8 was there a week or so ago. It's probably good for sales in the long run that some of this stuff gets pirated and passed around. I don't know. But as far as CM8000, you definitely got the best interface, best boards, etc. And oh yeah, I sure appreciate you being here. You answer questions a lot better than CM tech support, who I had to call a couple years ago. Here's my question: One thing I'd like to be able to do is make the board bigger on this new 19 inch screen I got. I haven't figured out if that can be done yet. rc
