I've had to remove and then re-install Chessmaster8000 on an machine running XP. All seemed ok, but when I run the program all the text from the click boxes e.g. 'Login', 'Quit' etc on the opening page are missing and, going to the GamesRoom all the dropdown menu headings 'File' etc are missing. When I removed the program a dialogue box game up detailing 'cm800.ttf' perhaps I clicked on the...

At talkchess.com (http://216.25.93.108/forum/viewforum.php?f=2), oneguy asks the following question: --------quoted text-------------------- "On this list http://www.husvankempen.de/nunn/cegtrating4040best.html How is Rybka beta 100 points higher than all professional engines?

Hello: I like to collect and play Chess Programs. For my Commodore 64, I have Sargon 2 & 3, and Chessmaster 2000. I would like to know if any other Chess Programs were written for the Commodore 64? And where could I find Chessmaster 2000 for DOS? Thank you!

It's too costly. Chess Life should be eliminated and replaced with E-Chess Life.

I have CM9000 and it can't save my place in the tutorials, which makes it so that I can't use them. Does 10th Edition allow you to save your place in the tutorials so you can come back to it? If so, I might buy it. Also, does 10th Edition still have the 2D Mohagany board set that I prefer?

Scary to think someone would foist these chess secrets on an unsuspecting world. It has new moves unleashed, old theories obliterated, and thousands of sample games to prove it. It's a systematic and scientific refutation of every principle that chess conservatives hold near and dear. Best of all, it will turn you into a winner!

I really hope Sam Sloan will get you. You deserve it.

If you want to use tournament results to show that one engine is better than another engine, then the table below gives the needed number of games for 95% confidence.

We should cut Marcus Roberts' balls and give it to Ilyumzhinov. I'm glad you'll get him in May. Good luck!

There seems to be a problem with Arena enforcing the timelimits in a tournament, especially when Rebeluci is playing. Some times it just hangs for hours without moving. Also Rybka (the free beta version) is winning always but it calculates much longer time, typically 4-5 times and some times up to 10 times longer than other engines (e.g. Toga, Crafty, Ruffian). Is there a setting I might be...

Visit http://www.softtanks.com/chessgame/Chess.html to play and see if the Chess game is challenging or not. I hope the Chess game will be better for all players who complaint in past.

1) How can I easily insert a move in ctg format book in Chessbase 9 (something that is as simple as done in bookup for example). (2) How do I stop the annoying arrows on pieces after each move in chessbase 9? (3) Is there anyway to stop the popup "Lines" when there are variations in the game? (i.e. when I quickly browsing through some game that has some variations and analysis, I don't want to...

They need drug testing for idiots like you. What are you taking?

Hi, Im trying to build crafty to utilise both processors on my Macbook Pro.

So i though time to try to hack the Makefile, I changed some of the Darwin build options as below, darwin:

Marcus Roberts got caught in a big lie. Bad boy Marcus! Now Sloan has a bigger reason to get you. You're done.
