I have noticed that too. It would be nice if minimizing CM wouldn't affect
anything, but it does. There are various operations that restart Chessmaster's
thinking at the beginning. That's one of them. Another is Ctrl-G.

When I just want to get Chessmaster off screen and look at my desktop, I use the
windows Show Desktop operation, which doesn't affect Chessmaster's thinking in
progress. You can copy Show Desktop from the c:\windows\system folder to your
desktop, quick launch bar, start menu, or wherever you want it.

I also find that I can generally multitask other software with CM, and simply
call up whatever screen I want from the taskbar (overwriting the CM screen). So
long as I avoid minimizing CM, thinking continues.
