Chessmaster 6000-WP shows marked improvement over Chessmaster 6000. As with
Chessmaster 5000 and Chessmaster 5500 the defaut setting do not seem to bring
out Chessmaster full potential.(CM6K vs F5 1-5)(CM6K-WP vs F5 3-3)

This newest version of Chessmaster should prove to be the strongest and best in
the Chessmaster family. With its better opening book and adequate database
capabilities, Chessmaster 6000 is well worth the $30 sticker price. So far, I
have found the program to be bug free, but with it being a Mindscape product, I
will not be holding my breath.


CM6000-WP 1  0  0  1/2  1  1/2

Fritz5    0  1  1  1/2  0  1/2
