It would be a different story if this was say A Fritz or another program dedicated to serious chess. But Apart from the King engine, everything else is aimed for ther mindless mass market and will sell like hot cakes. So if anyone posts saying that CM7K is a toy, it is, not the engine, but the interface. Has very little for the serious player. They had the opportunity to put in features that would bring the serious player in as well as the lesser player, and when they get better they could have used the more serious features. But the later was never done and thus it will still sell well and in later versions it will add the biggest Matel seller put into it. The Barbie Doll Personality.
