Chessmaster makes very strong programs, even though that's an old version of CM
it's strong.  It just looks to me from what you've written that you need to
improve your game.  Programs are said to not deal with the Stonewall very well,
see the Winboard forum for an example of that against Faile I think was the
program. http://f11.parsimony.net/forum16635/
