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 reviewers here love it while others cite all kinds of terrible problems with the program (in fact, I hesitated to buy the program after someone said it wouldn't run on any Dell PC with a CD-R or CD-RW drive, and that UBI customer support didn't care). I found this to be *completely* untrue. It installed on my Dell 2400 with my CD-RW drive without any problem at all and continues to work perfectly.

I downloaded the v1.02 patch from the Chessmaster website and I have never experienced a program crash in Windows XP. Graphically, Chessmaster 9000 is simply fantastic... I have NO idea why a few people have said that it isn't.

The bottom line, in my opinion: a terrific chess program that is definitely worth the $29.95 investment.
