Chessmaster (regardless if 4000, 5000, 6000 or 7000) hogs CPU time even when idle and Deep Thinking (=PB) turned off. Since the Fritz GUI is very sensitive to that (the 32bit variant much more than the 16bit version), it will slow down to a crawl. However, you can stop that if you call the Game Details window (Ctrl-E in 6000) after CM has moved. That should provide fairer conditions on one CPU. --- Shep
