All are nice features. No. 1 and 2 are provided by almost every top program but
No. 2 and No. 3 are not available in CM6000. Only programs like Crafty and
Shredder have the 3rd feature. However, because CM6000 lacks the ability to
show engine analysis when taking back moves and moving forward in player player
mode (which is the single most important computer chess feature for serious
tournament chess players) that is the reason I called it a toy. Opening book
editors are not important for some but the one it has is a joke.
