So far CM555 has lost against Nimzo. In the game there was again a position
where Chessmaster crashed on my machine 5 times.
Also setup the position again made it crash.
On the machine of my friend it crashed too.
So i guess it is chessmaster having a crash bug (again!) in the game.
I cannot continue the game, nor setup it and continue it. It is no problem
because the game is lost for CM. Only for your information . I really hope
these crash behaviour does not appear in other positions/games too.
This could be a problem :-)
BTW: here the game, do you get the crash too ? I have used the english CM5000
version with the patch-file...

In the moment i am playing crafty vs. Hiarcs.
Both castled different sides and hiarcs attacked crafty with pushing pawns.
Crafty says -0,52. Hiarcs + 129. 36th move.

I like the ranking in the moment. IMO it shows pretty much that some programs
i like are very strong in the moment...
Tiger,cstal, junior, crafty, mchess, hiarcs, zarkov, nimzo,genius...
looks like an accurate order of ranking to me :-)))
Sorry - only joking !
