Even CM9K use directx and did not gobble up my whole screen and flick the power off on the monitor for a split second. I simply want the chess engine. So far, I can play oy in Fritz 8 (!good) but only one ply search. The copy proctection seems to be over kill - it requires the CD everytime, the engine won't run at all in F8, unless the Majestic program is started and I still have to pass a code (which I have not figured out yet)to the engine so it plays more then 1 ply deep in Fritz. My frustration level is quite high with it and at this point -- it looks like it is going back.
