The engine is not in question, the recent GM games are not that important, I would think that other programs might get around the same result. But I have seen ChessPartner 4.1, and unless you did a revamp of the whole interface then I would not buy it. Even though I have no idea what it is going to look like. Just knowing what the current chesspartner interface is like, put me off. So I think that unless I see some nice looking pre-release snapshots of the game and some reviews saying that it is up amoung the rest of the programs on the market. I will not be going out and buying it strait away, like I have done with Rebel 9 & 10 :( At this point and time, the CM6000 interface, which other people make fun of, kills ChessPartner 4.1.
