The new Chessmaster looks fantastic! I made a mistake in my first posting and nobody read it so I'm happy that they didn't catch my mistake. The Chessmaster's rating went dramatically up when I uninstalled 10th Edition. So, like in 10th Edition, the Chessmaster adds about 200 points to its base rating with processor power. I think C1arinetboy said this was dumb but the new Chessmaster seems to have an equal, if not even slightly lower rating than 10th Edition. I'm sure the new engine is fine tuned and I am curious as to who will be the first one to beat it.

Actually it looks like although the engine is 27 refinements further than the last 3.33, it has essentially been optimized for multithreading and multiprocessors. The base rating is still exactly the same as in 10th Edition (i.e. 2724).

Also the game looks just a little too much like 10th Edition, but I am still pleased. I can't wait for some moderators to post some Chessmaster add-ons in this forum like there were in the previous forum.
