Tine I am shocked, CM6K has maybe if not the best, one of the best analysis of
any chess program. As for a database, I find it good enough. And if not then I
would use rebel.

This is an old story the pros and cons of chessmaster. You frequent this place
only now and then and miss most posts regarding this matter. Simply put you are
wrong about chessmaster. (CM6K) at least.

And its cold and rainy in Sydney, Australia's best state and home of the 2000
Olympics. But other than the bad weather today. Sydney is number one for
bussiness and sport and just about everything else.
