Anyone have information on it? I think that a chess database with a DOS interface may be a hard sell in today's market. The market is already fairly crowded with windows compatible DBs as it is. >Also since apparently >people can get any chess engine to run in there interface, as convetka(chess >assistant folks), run genius, rebel, mchess etc in their interface, and now >these people have Chessmaster running in there interface, it seems that it >should be easy to make an autoplayer for chessmaster, in no time for some of you >halfway decent programmers? I would say there is a distinction between and internal and external engine. Internal engines are generally much more convenient to use. Using an external engine (like CA does) is certainly the best solution for programs that do not have a chessbase or winboard compatible interface. One big problem with Chessmaster is that it cannot automatically process EPD files, like Rebel, genius, etc. So don't count on being able to use the chessmaster engine in CA/CB, etc, anytime soon.
