Sorry, I won't operate Chessmaster 8000 in CCT3 .

But I know how you can get a reasonable, well-respected operator on some super
hardware ( I suppose you aren't looking for some kiddo who will do _anything_ to
win .. )

I learned from your messages that "The King" is a WinBoard engine with some kind
of copy restriction .

Just go to the WinBoard forum ( http://f11.parsimony.net/forum16635/ ) or post
here that you are looking for an operator who will let CM run automated under
WinBoard ( special version without copy protection ) .

There are _many_ people who can be trusted  to not spread and not misuse it in
any way .

AFAIK _all_ programs in CCT3 will run automated on ICC ( no cheating , no effort
or influence by the operator while games are running ) .

It seems  to me "The King"  could, too .

Cheers.
