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

Rating: - 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.

Although It does goble up ram so i would run the program on its own if you are asking it to anylise chess positions!!

Rating: - 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.
