Is anyone playing with Chessmaster 2000?  I'm having some problems from
time to time, and I wonder what it is that's getting me.

Every once in a while, Chessmaster will crash the amiga.  This seems to
happen both on 1.1 and a 1.2 Beta release.  Usually, it just locks up the
mouse.  Often, it happens in conjunction with the right (menu) mouse button.

Other times, it takes a long time over a relatively simple position.
At that point, if you look at the frame 'show chessmaster thinking',
you notice that he's stopped thinking(!).  Since it's always his move,
you can wait a while.

Today, I got a guru (first time that's happened).  I was closing a window.
Relatively harmless thing to do, I thought.

The only thing 'odd' about my machine is the fact that I have a 2Meg
expansion board on it (from Comspec).

Has anyone else experienced these problems?  They are relatively infrequent,
but very irritating when they occur.  Is 'Software Country' on the net?
