They're laughing at the king

^ you are right.
"they" is a general expression.

Chessmaster was meant for learning and it does that very well. I wast just thinking when chessmaster gives its evaluation, and or plays/suggest a move is it really the best move? Or would a better engine have given better advice?? (if those other engines were changed and made to give hints/lessons/teach you stuff instead of just kicking your butt)
