I heard that it will be the engine version after 3.0, there is already a later
version than 3.0 but I hear that there is still a tiny few more tests to do
before it is ready to ship.

Plus I hear that they are doing some big changes to the opening book editor. So
it is easier to edit. I recieved an email to my email I sent them saying that
they were looking hard at the opening book editor of those in Fritz and Rebel.
So it maybe interesting to see what they come up with.

Plus a few more improvement to the versatility of the Analysis features. Making
the database feature more standard to others on the market.

Plus the big news in their email to me, is that it looks like there will be an
Autoplayer in there. They did not say it was certain, but it looks very strong,
depending on how it reacts to the king engine. They said they would leave the
final approval to the king engine programmer.

So hopefully with all the email Chessmaster fans have sent to them on what to do
to make it better it is finally looking like they are listening. Only time will
tell though.

But from what I have heard so far, I think the other chess makers should start
to worry.

And they said that it will either be the same as or cheaper than the current
CM6K price.

So the wheels are in motion for the world domination of Chessmaster chess
software.

The court Jester will soon become the king. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
