Customer Reviews of Chessmaster PC
Don't buy it! I disagree with Ubi's policy of bundling bug fixes with new releases. Sales of Chessmaster seem to be driven by owners of previous versions who are hoping for bug fixes. I purchased Chessmaster 10th Edition largely because it was supposed to solve problems with the previous edition, but each new version seems to introduce at least as many bugs as are fixed. I've decided that I will not buy any further Ubi products until Ubi stops bundling bug fixes with new releases. <

STILL THE BEST AMATEUR CHESS-SIM OUT THERE
Sure there are much more powerful chess-analysis software available (ChessBase's DEEP FRITZ VIII comes to mind), yet they are either much more expensive or sport features only professionals (or at least truly advanced players) would know how to use.

<
>Not to be outdone at the gate, CHESSMASTER-GM EDITION features an exceptionally good teaching tool as well a human-simulation engine which is adaptable to various personalities. For any amateur-to-middle range chess-player, this is the most recommended series.

>True, compared to CM-10, this edition is not that different - with the exception of some visuals and animated board options. I could not see a reason to upgrade if one already owns CM-10.

>My advice: wait for after-Christmas sales - you will be able to pick this up for a song.
A solid follow up...
I owned CM10 and have to admit, I'm a higher end user.
<
>What's worth mentioning is this version is excellent for almost anyone, from beginning to 2200 USCF!

<
>The engine is exceptionally good for human analysis. It is now 64 bit and multi-processor capable. It has all the learning features from the previous version, plus a few more for good measure, it looks and feels better and runs on Vista.

<
>For players ranked below 1500, this along with a copy of reassess your chess will literally change your life. If you own version 10, then wait a month or two until the price drops, otherwise, buy it now and enjoy.
