Chessmaster marketing has never focused on the engine strength, with the
possible exception of the jump from CM3000 to CM4000, where they substituted de
Koning's engine for some apparently home-brew one.  There'll be a new version of
Chessmaster because there is another Christmas coming, not because of the engine
difference. :-)
