It is also possible that the best way to get maximum strength of chessmaster is
to use Fritz8.ctg under chessbase

If you allow combination of 2 products then you need to allow it for every
engine.

I am not against it.
I think that every engine should be tested in the way that the programmer likes
and it includes the opening book that he likes and the interface that he choose.

Of course credit for the right people should be given in notes to the list and
the list can have different color for the programs that were tested as
combination of more than one program.
