Subject: CM6000 Just Because it's Cheap, is Not Weak

I get the impression that because CM6000 is very cheap to buy then people do not
consider it to be very strong.

Well with the amount of money that the Chessmaster programs pull in, I think
that the guy who programs the kings engine would also be pulling in allot of
money, and thus would have the resources to make such a strong engine even
stronger.

CM6000 is marketed for the mass public, and because it does not have an
autoplayer and cannot play against other programs unsupervised, that alot of
people dismiss CM6K and for that matter the versions before, because of the lack
of results against other programs.

And I have already started to see that CM6K has been pulling in some very good
results in tournaments already, and all I hear, is "what a suprise". Anyone who
has been using Chessmaster since CM5000, knows that it is very strong.

Well I hope CM6K does beat the other programs if anyone out there will play it
manually (too SSDF members), just to shut up people who keep making comments
that this cheap software program, which sells more than any other chess program
100 times over. Cannot be strong.

And to Mindscape, put in a damn autoplayer so you can shut all these people up
and kick their sorry butt.
