I think that IM and GM's can train with CM6000 and do things that they cannot do with other programs. If they want to analyze an idea in the opening (for example a novelty that thay prepare against an opponent) and the computer does not understand the position then they can do nothing about it if they are not using chessmaster. With chessmaster6000 they can change the mobility parameter,king safety parameter,material values and suddenly the computer understand the position so they can play against the personality that understand the ideas of the position and learn from the game. I want to know what IM's and GM's think about it. Uri
