Chessmaster 9000 Reviews
I have used chessmaster around 12 years ago and the chessmaster 9000 interface is still the familiar old. Once in a while would have been ok. I am working on this issue now and will update my review based on the outcome. However, I ran in to an issue which I remember running in to 12 years ago as well. However, I did not expect it to freeze my laptop regular basis. My laptop is not all that great for running this type of a game. In the middle of the chess master session, my computer freezes. Looks like the software is really power hungry.
I recomend it. My chess ability being what it is, I will never even come close to beating it. This is the only Chessmaster game I have owned.I did not buy the latest version based on Amazon reviews. The bottom line is I like it.
Now I get to find out how difficult they will make it for me to return it for a refund. I have purchased many other games and had no trouble installing and running them, but this one is pure frustration. I managed to get a few false starts with this game which merely let me watch the introductory video that tells you how great the game is. If you enjoy spending hours fiddling with software that doesn't run properly, searching every possible website imaginable to help troubleshoot that software, and reading a 40 page PDF file hoping to find a morsel of useful information on installation, then Chessmaster is the game for you. A colossal waste of time. Funny thing is, that's the only part of this software that worked.
I bought two of them, returned one, the unopened one I got for my kids. Maybe it would work on an older version of Windows than XP, but I wouldn't bet on it. Chessmaster 9000 fails to install the complete package.
Sure it has flaws, but it's fun and easy to use, and may even improve your skills. Simply the best value in chess games out there.
