My hard drive crashed, and Chessmaster 9000 is the ONLY program that will not install on my new hard drive. That's just plain robbery. I will never buy another Ubi Soft product.
Rating: - Super Learning Tool
Chessmaster9000 begins with the basics. It teaches proper moves of each piece. My 7-year old grandson is learning from this CD. However, it can challenge many avid players. It really covers all the bases of Chess.
Rating: - This is a complete joke
This game would not install. I learn't afterwards on the web that it has been deliberately designed not to install from a cdrw drive in the name of copy protection, which rules out just about every laptop on the planet by now. There is no warning on amazon or on the box. A hard to find item on the ubisoft faq suggests you should go and buy a different cdrom drive. What a disgraceful way to behave towards your customers and what a narrow minded way to produce software in today's marketplace. Having wasted my money I am furious and shall now be buying fritz. I will not be buying ubi soft software in the future. I suggest the title on the box should be amended to read.
"The world's most popular chess program for people who do not have CDRW drives"
Rating: - Very nice game
I am a chess player, so I needed a good chess software. There are many chess softwares out there for much of $$$. But, Chessmaster 9000 is, for the lack of a better word, perfect for $10. Easy to use software, a lot of different modes of AI, for begginners, intermediate, and advanced. Many options, okay graphics, ratings, tournaments, online play, etc.
Very good game.
Crashed once had to reinstall (probably just my computer).
If you like chess, you might want to have this game.

Chessmaster is the premier computer chess player for a PC. However, I found Chessmaster 9000 to not be as user friendly as previous versions. I did own Chessmaster 5000 and liked that version better. Chessmaste 9000 had upgrades to the skill level, which is fine. However, some changes were made to features that I did not find to be improvements.
