I changed the way of play with chessmaster versus other windows engines just
make the move no permanent brain for both
only against Dos   programs i let both programs run. and put the dos program on
top while playing
if both Chessmaster and Fritz run it slows down  Fritz6 for 3 plys a move
which is more then against other engines

But maybe here is something which might intrest you.
I also did write Robert Hyhat about this program.
It is smartalec2000 this realy speeds op chess programs aswell included
Chessmaster and Fritz
You have to do a lot, before it runs optimized.
But then you get something back
And this only with the shareware version !
which you can find on www.3dfiles.com
and www.smartalec2000.com
