You are simply wrong here. Everyone agrees that CM6000 is very very strong. That
is not the point. The point is that it is missing some very critical features
like 1) the ability to analyze in player player mode with engine analysis at the
same time 2) a decent opening book editor. The one that CM6000 has is a joke.
The first feature is so critical that not having it forces an incredible waste
of time changing modes whenever you change sides in analysis or do take back
moves in your manual analysis. Use a program that allows engine PV in player
player mode and you will see what I mean.
