I have not purchased it since it does not have auto232. Is there any chance of auto232 showing up in a patch? Chessmaster is a great program but I have CM6K and see no reason to purchase anymore unless auto232 is incorporated. I also see no reason for SSDF to waste valuable time testing CM7K without it. If you guys want to advertise the program as leading the SSDF list you should get with the program! Jim Walker
