I really like the training CD (2nd CD) from ChessMaster 9000. I never really looked at it much before until recently when I decided
I wanted to improve my game. I have to say that it is simply amazing. There is so much covered and it is presented well by on the
board visual instruction accompanied by audio, to drills. It covers so many important aspects of the game that if one was to study
this training persistantly, they would have to get better. This has been the best training I have ever seen. I like going to the
database and looking over GM games also. This is all around a very good way to learn the game. Then you can take the knowledge to
the board and play the computer players. There are so many players of differenct levels to choose from that you can easisly find
the right one to play against for a good game. I have other Chess playing programs but none really compare to the whole package
that you get out of ChessMaster. -matt
