I agree. Engine improvement/strength is the only feature that drives me to buy a program/upgrade. Next is quality of Opening Book, ability to add to opeing book from PGN files, Good DB features rank as a nice feature, but not a driving requirement for me. Windows OS and price are the final things I consider before I buy. For engine strength, I need prof that the engine is strong. SSDF or games against GM's. I will not buy just to get improved GUI. Interface is not even on my radar map of reasons to buy a chess engine. I will not buy CM7K and I am a long time user of the CM products dating back to CM4K. Best Regards, Chris Carson
