Is it allowed to have a completeley different opinion? Your wrote:

"... because reliable studies have shown that Chessmaster is significantly
weaker than various other chess software that is readily available, so I seldom
use it anymore."

My experience is reverse! As already mentioned: with good settings CM8 had
always reached a score of 50 % and more against all top programs but each
individual setting had a dreaded opponent. In my opinion, Chessmaster8000 [with
changed settings and a good opening book] indeed belongs to the strongest chess
program of the world. I very much like the playing style and despite missing
tablebases Johan de Koning's program often understand endgame positions better
than the rest of the world.
Kind regards
