We have modified the GUI to make "infinite" game analysis Chessmaster 9000 less
cumbersome and less confusing. If you are familiar with CM8000, to get infinite
analysis you had to open the "Thinking Lines" window and select the
"Chessmaster" checkbox. This confused a lot of users (and the SSDF!) and was
really a poor design decision.
Now, we have a completely separate window, called "Mentor Lines", which, if you
open, you automatically start infinite analysis, no matter what else is going on
in the game.
The "Thinking Lines" window will now automatically show you what computer
players in the game are thinking, without needing to activate any checkboxes.

Endgame databases can now be accessed in the "Coach" window to determine optimum
endgame play.

And, of course, the engine is improved as well, so the quality of the analysis
should be equally improved.
