I would not say that Fritz is the "best" software to analyse games, there are some free chess softwares and GUIs (eg. Arena with Fruit or Rybka 2.2), but as far as I am aware, those engines provide only infinate analysis, no game analysis.

Commercial engines to analyse your games include Rybka 3 Aquarium (the strongest engine, as well as the one I use, although some say that the interface is too confusing), Fritz (most will probably agree that Fritz has the most user friendly interface), Shredder, Hiarcs, Junior, Zappa... you get the idea, although for the last 4, I do not think they come with interfaces and you need to either buy another commercial interface which supports those engines (Chess Assistant, Chessbase etc) or download free wares such as Arena (does Shredder come with its own interface?).

As for your question about whether or not your games against Chessmaster will be analysed there, it depends on what kind of file you save the games as. All engines or databases can read PGN files, while other files such as CBH (Chessbase files) or CDP (Chess Assistant files) can be read usually only by the database/engine which creates those kinds of files. As far as I am aware, CA 10 can read Chessbase as well as CDP, while CB 10 cannot read CA 10 files.

Shredderchess is also a great GUI and engine for analysis.  If you can save the game as a pgn file in chessmaster then Shredder could analyzie it.

Scid is for free, but it has the same features as Fritz. (maybe more)

Disadvantage: It needs a little bit time to understand how to use it. But everything you use everyday is simple to use..
