Thanks Gunnar! I am hitting some known bug with CM8k and Win2k, where in
tournament mode the opponent *is* the chessmaster. Chessmaster logo, Chessmaster
strength (or, at least, better-than-beginner strength). This only happens on the
patched version; however, unpatched I hit the instant-play bug. This did NOT
happen on my old Win2k PC, which was a Compaq Armada with a docking station. Oh
well.
