The computers are put together and configured by me; both are PII 333 with 128mb
ram.

This is the second six game match played with CM6000 (default) with twelve games
played. More games to come.

 I am not trying to prove anything. I am in the process of evaluating
Chessmaster 6000. When you evaluate a new program, you start out with no data
(That is why only a few games have been played).  I choose to play Fritz 5
because I consider it the strongest program currently out, and this gives me a
good frame of reference to start evaluating a new program.

I am breaking down the data as I generate it into a series of smaller matches,
because it makes it easier to post as I have Chessmaster play different time
controls, and different programs.

I choose to share my results on CCC because this is a Computer Chess Club and
others members are following the results...
