I play it more than Fritz After playing Fritz 8 for a year, before that, playing Chess Master 9000, 6000, Power Chess, and Chess Master 3000. Chess Master 10th addition is now my favorite chess program. There are many improvements over the 9000 version. I must admit, it took a while for the modern look of the game to grow on me, my first impression was not so good. I like the look of fritz with the large 2D playing board area. Chess Master has a new and improved ranked game play, with many AI opponent to choose form. It even recommends an AI player based on your rating/performance in ranked play. The online play is much, much, much better than the 9000 version. The interactive training and drills are excellent, and improved... though some are the same as previous versions. Under training mode, you can even play simultaneous games against AI opponents. This is a lot of fun. The kids section is vastly improved. I really like this game, as you can see... however, I recommend downloading the demo from the chessmaster website before making your purchase. You will have 8 hours of game play, plenty of time to see if you like it, and if it will run on your computer. Oh, I have Fritz 8 Deluxe now as well... and I still play Chess Master 10th edition all the time. Unless I'm away form home, then I play Chess Tiger on my PalmOne Zire.
