It's a good one, if I say so myself. Some say the best. Most, including myself,
say it is ONE of the best.

Depending on the speed of your computer, the best personality for finding mates
AND doing general analysis is probably the default personality, Chessmaster.
Just about the only thing you might want to do to make the analysis a little
faster is to go to "Preferences -> Mentor" and set the Transposition Table
Memory size to something like 32MB or 64MB, depending on what your machine can
afford.

The easiest way to do analysis of ANY position is to set up that position on the
board (either manually, by moving to that position in a game that has been
loaded, or by copying that position into the program from the clipboard if it is
in Forsythe notation) and then open the "Mentor Lines" window (CTRL+M). Instant
analysis....
