But "fastest", there's only a marginal difference I'm sure. I think that the thing that you need to be thinking of is which interface that _you'll_ get the most use out of, because while the Chessbase interfaces are very heavilly used and are usually taken more seriously, there's also a large following for programs like Chessmaster 6000, partly because you can find a copy of it at the dime store, and partly because they _have_ made some good programs, but the more serious you are paticularly about playing between other programs, the more you'll be looking at Chessbase programs like Fritz & Hiarcs, etc., but CM6000 _might_ actually suit you better. $60 covers most of the good programs, so if one you have costs $20 more than another one, ignore the $20 extra cost, because that's a very small amount of difference and you can waste that amount of cash right down the drain several times a year, you won't notice having spent a little bit more on the Chess program a year from now, but you will notice it if you end up with the wrong program for you.
