Well not in the number of games played, but enough games played will show it,
and the number of games already played shows that it's far stronger than you
would like to make out. I'd bet on CM6000 vs J5 in a match any day.

I don't know what CM you've been playing??? I Own every program in the top 10
of the SSDF, and Chessmaster is by far more aggressive than any of them. I
can't hardly find a game where chessmaster isn't sacking something for the
initiative!

Chessmaster scores higher on the combinative part of the louguet sute test than
any other program including fritz, CM in my expert opinion is the most strongly
combinative program. At 5 minutes i can get draws quite often and win
occasionaly against Junior/Fritz, they give you a chance to breathe CM's only
motto is "YOU MUST DIE!!". Here is one of many wins against Junior 5 at 5
minutes on P200 MMX. Chessmaster scalps a fellow and then laughs.
