But when it was set at 12 sec and choose Kf2 it for some reason expected fxg at the loss of -4.69 and never changed it's evaluation after hours. Maybe was either set-up wrong or it's just a glitch in the personality due to settings. Though I just tried it again and again after 12 secs it chooses Kf2 and this time expects g6 in reply at +4.99 for white. Clearly after Kf2 there are better moves for black. The actual Chessmaster 6K selects depending on depth and time, Rh2, Ra2, Kf2 at about 40 secs and as you state settles on Bxf5 on mine at 50 secs. Seems my own set-up personality is far move aggressive than the normal CM6K as my set-up don't even look at Ra2 or Rh2 and only looks at Qd3, Kf2 and Bxf5. Maybe it don't analyse to well for it's opponent lol. UltraB. PS. Forgot to mention I am using a P233mmx with 64 meg ram CM6K set at 16 ram.
