Thanks, Odd, for the information.

I have CM8000 and can already analyze an entire game overnight using CM8000.
What benefit is there for using the same engine under the Fritz6 GUI?

Perhaps I can switch engines while in the same Fritz6 GUI, to analyze a position
with one engine (Fritz6), then the other engine (The King).

NOTE--I do not play engine vs. engine tournaments or games--I only analyze my
human OTB games from my club & tournament play.

I like The King engine in CM8000 very much.  It provides distinct moves and
strong analysis.  It finds nice combinations.

Thanks in advance for the good help!
