My own personal gripe about chessmaster is its use of ponder on as default; and the lack of an easy way to turn it off - you need to set up or alter a personality. This, I think, is fundamentally, anti-palm!! Furthermore, even with ponder off, it uses the battery up very quickly - so I'm not sure it works. Having said that, it would be nice if they did get it right: as the inclusion of a database of games, the ability to play around with personalities, set up tournaments, and get move advice are areas not covered in the same depth in CT and genius. CT is the best program - on my own wish list is that it included some basic database support, e.g. so that you could hotsync a pgn of the latest grandmaster tournament, and select games from it (and ideally get a summary of scores). Pocket Chess Deluxe is the best for database support. But then, you were asking about chessmaster strength. Not sure - but it played a fun game on blitz.
