Is there any chance SSDF will test the Chessmaster 9000, preferably with known
good alternative settings, like the CM9_Utz12n settings? Even if it isn't sent
to you by somebody (which probably isn't to be expected)? It really isn't too
expensive for the enthusiast.

Maybe you can get the King engine running in the Fritz GUI like many other users
do. In that case the games could be played automatically AFAIK, like with all
the other. You'd just have to decide which book to use (or generate a book for
it from a one of the large games databases which are available free).

I think anything (any compromise) will be better than simply not to test the
CM9000. It would mean one of the Top-10 programs is missing in the list. It
could even be that it's one of the Top-3 (very good results of the Utz setting
indicate that it's possible IMO).
