Firstly, Chezzz played a great game, no doubt about that, especially if it is as weak as you claim. ;-) However, I believe that this game was actually human-operated, which Chessmaster only making MOST of the moves, rather than TheKing.exe running under Winboard. Here are my findings: -- The first eleven moves are straight out of CM8000's book, which would be impossible if TheKing were "in charge", because there is no way for TheKing to access the CM8000 opening book under Winboard. -- I don't think any of the questionable moves in the game were due to mouse slips, since the suggested move by CM8000 is usually unrelated to the move played. -- There are several moves which I cannot get TheKing to reproduce at all, and most of them are near the end of the game. Specifically, 11...Qe6, 24...c6, 45...Rf8, 46...Re8??, 51...Qxe3, 52...Bf6?? and 53...Ra8 (although the game was certainly lost by that point, so I suspect the operator just lost patience).
