Best of the series,
I’ve played Chessmaster since the 3000 version, which was DOS based and actually my favorite before Chessmaster 9000. I’ve also played the latest Chessmaster 10 but didn’t like it. I prefer to play computer chess in 2D, and I didn’t see a selection of boards to choose from the way I can in Chessmaster 9000. Also, I consider 9000’s interface to be superior to Chessmaster 10, and featurewise you’ve got everything you need in 9000, including tutorials and a readily accessible openning book library to reference as you play. There’s also a database of thousands of games you can easily query if you enjoy studying the games of the great masters. You can also create custom opponents, but you really shouldn’t need to because there are dozens of pre-made ones to choose from, from total patzers to the mighty Chessmaster, himself. Also, the game isn’t a hog that requires a powerhouse computer to play on. I play it on a Pentium 3, 700MHZ, with 256MB RAM no problem. Last but not least, there’s the price. You can’t go wrong at 10 bucks for this great game that’s the best of it’s series.

|first class,
The finally got their act together. I originally used version 5500 with good results. Then I tried a version between 5500 and 9000 and it was dismal. They subscribed to the software philosophy of switching features instead of adding features. This version 9000 has all of the features with none left out. They finally got their act together.
There is one problem. On my XP SP2 computer every 50 times I shut down the program the computer hangs up and I have to hold the power button down until the computer shuts down. Then I restart the computer. It is best to run this program when no other programs are running.

|Problems on install,
I had a very difficult time installing this game, eventually contacting ubisoft tech support and installing the game in the computer safe mode. I enjoy the game very much, but it was a hassle to install.
