i have two points to make. 1) g-c p. is correct because a fair tournament is not held on one machine anyway. this is because of resource allocation issues. and while we can produce verifiable rsults in engine-engine matches on a single machine those results are not reflective of the same engine alone on the machine playing-- that is what most users want to find out. 2) if chessmaster's engine suffers without its own book under the cb interface for a single machine match, then I say "so what?" chessmaster gui is rigged intentionally to use another engines resources during a same machine match and no honest td would allow it to function as such in a engine-engine single machine match. Therefore any handicap the engine suffers is a result of the designer's cheating, not the tournament director's. as a corollary, do we know much about the tuning involved in chessmaster's book, if there is any?
