But as far as the thinking lines I tried about everything and they wouldn't work right. I thought it might be because I had loaded the pgn from Genius 7. I tried loading the following FEN (at first as a normal pgn) to Chessmaster and allowing Genius 7 to play White and Chessmaster to play the Black pieces but Chessmaster just sits there at time controls of 5sec/move and will not allow me to "force move" or anything. I'm thinking it may be because there is something wrong with Genius 7. But I don't know. [d] 3r1rk1/1b3p1p/p2q1Pp1/np2Q3/2p4R/6NP/PBB3PK/8 w - -
