Subject: CM9000 and tournaments

Hi, I'm new to Chessmaster and my playing skills are not very good. However, I
enjoy playing sometimes so I bought CM9000 (never owned an advanced
chess-program on PC before). Well, I have created a rated tournament of 32
players (opponents 700-1400). Since I need some thinking before moving, I've set
time to 90 min for each player. This to ensure enough time to think when I feel
the heat. I've run out of time on a few occasions when I've set the clock to 30
min or even 45 min. That happens when I meet a good player of 1100+. That is a
good computer player for me ;). Anyway, to get to my point. The games between
the CPU are really annoying. Do I have to watch those games also or is there a
way to speed things up? Like a "simulate" button, where the outcome is
determined within a few seconds based on CPU players skills? My tournament will
take ages to finish with the "Auto" button.
