Must have chess software
I really like chessmaster and i think its one of the best chess softwares out there. The interface is more user friendly that fritz. What i really like about this book though is the different personalities that is has and that you can play against. This... more

No printer or internet--you can't load this program
My 80-year-old husband likes to play computer games. However, he does not have a printer, nor does he have an internet connection.

This program CANNOT be loaded unless you REGISTER. You can either register online, or you can register... more

Decent program and Excellent value for the money
CM9000 offers excellent value for your money. You will get very good graphic, decent playing modes, training modes, fun drill, ok quizzes, etc,... Some lectures are good as well.

I never had any problems with Windows XP on my 3 year old PC.... more

Excellent for a wide range of players
This is an excellent chess program that will be challenging and instructive for just about all levels from beginners to at least 1500 ( I wouldn't know beyond that but I'm sure it could give just about anyone a test). I've tried Kasparov's Checkmate... more

The best chess program I have ever played
I recently upgraded from Win 98 to XP, and my copy of Chessmaster 5500 would no longer work. So I "UPGRADED".

Now really before I begin my little rant here. I would like to say. ChessMaster is still without peer. The personalities give... more

The best chess program ever!
Chessmaster 9000 is the best of all the Chessmaster Games, and probably the best chess computer game period! It is an improvement of Chessmaster 8000, which is almost as good as 9000, in some ways:

1. I think it has different players

2. Josh Waitzkin... more

The best chess program ever!!!!
If you haven't gotten any of the chessmaster programs yet, then get Chessmaster 9000. It's just like Chessmaster 8000, but much more improved. There are:

1. Awesome 3d chess sets

2. More Josh games

3. Blunder alert

4. Tons of other stuff

CM 9000-- the perfect program?
I've had Chessmaster 9000 for about a month now and just love it. It's a challenging opponent, a wonderful tutor, and has all kinds of exciting features that will keep you engaged. It's helped improve my game significantly.

I noticed that some... more

Laptop users beware of this product
It tells you when you are blundering, but blunders every so ofen by itself. Even on the GM level. Im not that good, but it tries blundering for a mate that is easily preventable.

Maybe I am that good, or (since it only has happened twice in 23 games...)... more

WARNING to all CDRW drive owners
Look out folks, despite there being no warning on "some of" the boxes (according to UbiSoft tech support), UbiSoft has brilliantly decided to prevent installation from a CDRW drive. I have a Dell Inspiron 8500 that came standard with a Samsung... more

Good Chess...But Very Buggy !
I am a chess beginner. I have been playing around with Chessmaster 9000 for a little over a month now. I have found it to be a very good tutor. I am still in the beginner part. There are sections for intermediate and advanced. There are a lot of features... more

Great product but lousy online play
I'll start by saying I'm running XP on my machine, with a GeForce 4 64MB video card.
Now, having said that - this is the program to get. I've had a few others, but none of them could touch CM. The last version I had was 5000, and the only reason I... more
