Chessmaster 6000 is, in my opinion, the most controversial program around, It was number 1 on the SSDF and now is number 2 - by just 1 point! How is it possible that the SSDF's rating system is considered so sound and yet there is this diversified opinion as to whether CM6000 even belongs in the top 5? What is your evaluation of CM6000, and how do you explain its high rating? Do you know how CM6000 has done in matches against Hiarcs 7 and Fritz 5.32? Mel> >Dave
