Chessmaster uses unsigned 32-bit values to display the number of positions that
it has seen. This means that it sees almost 4.3 billion positions before it
wraps around, not 2.25 billion as you state above. So, if it wrapped around
twice, you need to add about 8.6 billion positions to the current displayed
value.

We are hoping to fix this in the upcoming patch, but it's a ways down the list.
