After all, I don't really want to see Johan's great engines in another Chessmaster, unless the GUI became much more useable for testers like me. I'd rather see his King 3.x engine in the Fritz environment. Do you have any idea how long it takes to run the Louguet suite alone in Chessmaster?? It won't read PGN with FEN, won't read EPD... And even the format in which games are stored was changed from 5500 to 6000. That sucks big time! Unless CM 7000 fixes all these inconveniences, I'm perfectly happy with Johan going for another way to release his engine (I only hope he will release it at all!). --- Shep
