   Hi all i just got back from holidays.:) I was happy to find that chessmaster
had been  released here in Canada. I am greatly impressed with this new piece of
software. I have played about 50 games at 5min 5sec increments. The score is not
good for me :). However! i decided to try playing some off beat, sharper lines
that i have studied exstensively. This is the Lipinsky attack. I was not shocked
that Chessmaster played into this line, however is WAS shocked to see it play
all the BAD or dubious moves. This could be a reason why Chessmaster still does
not place as well as other commercials. In engine strength it is clearly as
strong, or close to the top engines, but a book with Holes? CAN! and WILL! be
preyed upon by other engines. Overall i love this software and it was worth the
50bucks i paid for it. Cheers~!
