- Very good - but annoying faults.
A very good program, which I love using - but there are issues.

Minor fault
Some of the lower ranked 'opponants' on the program make some very strange moves - for example, sacrificing the Queen for no reason at all - when they are winning. This turns the game around immediately.

Major fault ......
The program sometimes calls a stalemate - (thus ending the game) when it is clearly not a stalemate. Quite often, this happens just as I'm about to call an extremely obvious checkmate.

Having said that, I would still recommend this program.

- Fantastic!
Chessmaster 10th Edition offers so much.

First of all, it is very user friendly. Nothing is complicated about it and everything can be found easily. The logical beauty of the program resembles the logical beauty of the game of chess.

There is so much you can do with the program, a lot I haven't even discovered yet. There is training mode, in which you can use the Chess Coach to give you hints and show you paths, tactics, threats and openings that you might have missed otherwise. You can also take back moves, which let's you realise your mistake and gives you a chance to try another path.

There is ranked play, in which you can choose all different types of 3D chess boards and pieces, even 3D animated ... Read More:

- Major Problem...
I bought this software when I first started to play chess. It's good, it's very easy to use and has lots of help for people first starting out.

For example there are topics covering how the pieces move, simple tactics (forks, pins and skewers) and some opening and endgame theory. The amount of lessons you get for the price make this software a must for someone who wants to start out and if you are looking for sofware for children it is good for that too as the childrens corner is designed with children in mind (even the set's are quite funny to watch as they attack each other with magic and the like).

But there is a problem...
When you play against the computer it has various levels of strength from about 1 to ... Read More:

- Great Buy
Had Not played chess in long. I recently got a lap top and wanted a light game to run on it as the lap top is not a gammer. Was Hugly impressed with the volume of teaching and reasorces that i received for ten pounds!!!!! Have had no trouble With It crashing Or such like! Although It does goble up ram so i would run the program on its own if you are asking it to anylise chess positions!!

- More system problems.
Chessmaster frequently slows and/or freezes my computer, despite my system exceeding the requirements stated on the box. The program appears to be significantly more resource hungry than the manufacturers believe, which is a disappointment as otherwise it's good software for chess beginners and experts alike.
