Fowell (fowell@netcom.com) >http://dmoz.org/Games/Board_Games/Chess/Software/Macintosh/ I highly doubt it that there will be an engine patch for CM6000 Mac. CM6000 Mac was done "out of house", and the contract with the development company is considered completed (except for the fixing of any bugs). I have heard that the latest version of The King is going to be "more portable", so it is POSSIBLE (although I have no idea how likely) that the next MAC version of Chessmaster will have a new engine. jm
