Hmmm... Chessmaster 9000 should never lose or draw any winable endgame with
5 or less pieces; it has an end-game database which contains all possible
positions with 5 or less pieces and can lookup the perfect responce and
number of moves to mate.

I just did a quick websearch and saw something about a flaw with the
endgame database originally shipped with CM9000, so I assume that's the
problem.
