Believe it or not I've dabbled with quite a few chess programes and my vote is
to purchase power chess.  When you play the king in power chess it will adapt to
your play.  You'll end up winning approximately half of the games you play or a
little more, but as you improve so does the king.  As far as analyisis of your
games I would consider purchasing fritz which will blow the CM7000 analysis
capabilities out of the water--you'll love it. What is really fun is playing the
power chess king then let fritz take a gander at the game afterwords.  He'll
definately show you where to improve so that you whoop his royal hinus next
time.  Just my opinion.   Seth
