As far as I know, Ubisoft has the policy to sell the Chessmaster with an all
around setting, doing well at blitz/rapid/tournament levels. And in this
respect, I must admit that there are better setting for blitz games than
CM9_Utz12n. Not being interested myself in blitz games I do however not care,
the more so since the important title of world chess computer champion can only
be obtained with play at higher time controls.
