In the "Thinking lines"-Window , don't check "Chessmaster" - this will start an
additional Chessmaster engine that will show _its_ thoughts on the game but
these thoughts can't be used by the one that is just playing the game. Instead
the playing one is weakened very much .

When you play against Chessmaster and Chessmaster is black and you want to see
its thoughts - check the "Black"-box in the  "Thinking lines"-Window instead and
vice versa.

This feature was probably designed so that if you match very weak personalities
against each other you still can have some top player ( namely Chessmaster)
commenting on the moves.

I am not sure if UbiSoft is still happy with how they implemented it :).
