yes, it's worth the extra. Chessmaster 7000 was full of bugs and had
particularly bad incompatibility problems with Windows XP. These seem to
have been corrected in CM9000. As regards content, both CM programs are
similar, although there are 3 audio tutorial courses by IM Josh Waitzkin in
CM9000, whereas CM7000 has only 2 of these courses. Also CM Live seems to
work properly for a change, although nobody plays there. Go for CM 9000 is
my advice.
