Yes, it's definitely a different engine, and the default settings are also
(slightly) different.

The original name for the next version was Chessmaster 2003. However, when all
of the sales people started hearing things like "So, when's Chessmaster 9000
coming out?" from their clients, it was decided to stick with that naming
convention.
