I downloaded the demo for Chessmaster 10, but as a user who has Chessmaster 9 (as well as Fritz8 and others), the demo is not complete enough to give an idea if it is worth buying the new version for owners of CM9. For example there is almost nothing in the tutorials except a few titles, so one cannot get a feeling if they are the same as in the previous version (CM9 is worth buying for the...

I'd like an interface or chess program for linux that doesn't use x...but has a graphical board... Any ideas? Perhaps something using SDL or SVGA Thanks.

Just a warning to all those newbies out there, never click on a link where you will download a .zip or .exe file, cause 99% of the time, it is a virus or a trojan. These pigs will tell you anything for you to open it!! DFG wrote in message news:GmjRc.43361$J06.43121@pd7tw2no... Quite simpily the best shootemup ever!

The Crafty 19.3 annotation mode does not properly handle games if it is black to move first. Does anyone have a workaround for this? Here is the "game":

Are there any newer Crafty UCI engines than 19.06? This is the last one I have been able to find. Crafty is now up to 19.15 I believe. Regards, JeffS

A friend sent me an e-mail attachment with a game in PGN format. I would like to save it to a Fritz 5.32 database to play over the game. How could I do that, if at all? Thanks!

What is the best (money is no object) electronic chess clock? What electronic chess clock is most often used in rated tournaments? Should I get an analog chess clock as well? Enquiring minds want to know!

Does anyone know a retailer / publisher that is re-printing the old classic chessbooks ? Authored by Ruy Lopez, Damiano etc.. I did some searches but cannot find anything. Seems this would be a niche market for someone with the entrepreneurial spirit :)

In Chessmaster 9000, the size of the board is fixed (in 2D mode, anyhow). Can one adjust the board size in 10th Edition? What, if any, are the differences in the teaching sections. I see from the ads that it is different, but HOW? TIA, Paolo

I find my brain is not able to compete with my Athlon XP 2500+ Barton. How can I reduce the program's capabilities so I can have a chance of winning? I tried 'xboard -depth 1' but that didn't seem to help much. I am running Xboard/gnuchess on Fedora Core 1 Linux.

This is a nice one. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5913504350

Hello all, I came across this program below. The idea is to test your chess visualization skills, i.e. What color is e4? How many moves for a knight to move from h1 to h6, etc. http://www.janmatthies.info/chess/cvt/cvt.htm After seeing some of the exercizes (which are online), I thought that perhaps I could make a similar computer program. So I began my

I'm a dithyrambic mini-game player. The mini games( normally under 10MB ) are very magnetic to me. They are funny and easy. Everyday, I download new games from http://www.shinegame.com, including Puzzle Games, Actions & Arcade Games, Mahjong, Jigsaw Puzzle Games, Word Games, etc. I strongly recommend this great site to every mini-game player! Enjoy! Zero...

Can I ask two questions? 1)Is there a way one can play beginners/entry level electronic chess via a domestic TV? Is there anything DVD based? Would it be possible to route a handset this way? 2)Which computer chess program(if any)would posters recommmend for an absolute beginner? Something with a move by move comment/instruction would be ideal.
