The best out there, but can be irritating I agree with all comments that this program is completely irritating on a laptop. At least the "need to have a cd" problem can be solved -- after installation go to www.gameburnworld.com and get a more user-friendly modified file. Really solved the problem of not being able to use on trips (I never take a cd drive along). Plusses: best personalities I have seen for a lower-rated player. I bought Fritz, but went crazy with the unrealistic personalities at the lower levels (brilliant play followed by a giant error). Now I stick to Chessmaster, as there is a whole list of different player styles for me to go up against. Minuses: help file is about useless. Interface messy. Graphics cause all sorts of problems -- on my laptop it always requires a reboot, and switching windows to other programs can cause crashes on my desktop as well. Summary: annoying, but for my (low) level, by far the best I have found. I play it constantly, especially on trips.
