If you have been using ONLY those time controls, then try a game with a G/60 time control. If Chessmaster STILL moves instantly, all the way through the game, then read on; otherwise, wait for the patch, which should be released in 2-3 weeks. Only one other person has reported this problem (not counting Tina Long's recent post): Fernando Villegas. After much working with Fernando, we were not able to find the cause of the problem. Basically, I need to find out what, if anything, is in common between your machine and his. So, if you could start a private e-mail thread with him (and Tina), and report to me anything you find, it would be greatly appreciated. jm
