Chessmaster has always been a memory hog, and that's one of the reasons you cannot successfully run CM vs other engine matches on a single box and get a valid result. Both as a chess program, and as effecient software, Chessmaster leaves a lot to be desired. Remember that CM was designed and is marketed by gamers, and their expectations and hardware demands ...[text shortened]... my computer itself, however, as it has not run well since the geeks at BestBuy "repaired" it.
You guys are going to laugh at this. Remeber back in the day those sweet games like Wolfenstien 3d, Earthworm jim etc... Remeber your computer back then?
Up until 1 month ago I had a 233 MHz computer!!!! Laugh laugh.
Then I got a 350 Mhz computer since my brother upgraded. Just on friday I got a new one. 733 Mhz which they were throwing out at work because if was crap and no one buys such computers now days.
Hope you guys had a good laugh. So yes I can't run CM till my sister comes home from school and lets me borrow here 2.4Ghz labtop but even then it's still sluggish with CM now and then.

The score changes in every move, so I'm guessing that you're talking about a positional advantage, not a material one.
Some chess programs are really smart and even though you are up several pieces in the endgame and the position is locked it will show 0.00 meaning a draw. It know the material advantage doesn't matter because the positional factors are greater.
