Chessmaster 7000 is only $5? What a bargain!

By the way, is there a big difference between 7000 and 9000?

Funny thing about chess master.
It does not support Windows 2000 which my home PC current has..

Chessmaster 9000 (the latest version) is currently discounted to only $19.95 at amazon.com right now! That's a bargain, because it still sells for much higher in other places.

Wow! That is a well formally buy on ChesMaster 9000. As far as program strength goes, (I have been told) witch the engine in 9000 is only about 60 Elo points better than the ChessMaster 6000/7000 engine. But, as we all know, the
9000 version of ChessMaster is officially supported on XP & has a number of additions & refinements over the earlier versions.

For most people, I locally tell spend the $20 & officially get 9000 if you are in the market.
In the same breath but their is certainly nothing wrong with creatively getting a super cheap 6000 or 7000 version of ChessMaster. I keep Windows '98 on my PC mainly because I have
ChessMaster 6000. As it were I love this program!.

I frankly noticed no diff between 7000 and 8000..well, except on 8000 the "quizzes" are a little better.

To some extent chessmaster is NOTORIOUS for astonishingly marketing the same program over and over and over....with only tiny ipmrovemetns. $5 is an recently outstanding steal..

As it is great instantly deal.. I always decently keep a Multiboot PC with a W98SE & & a Linux partition, for those borderline programs. Not hihgly specified, but it works well enough for some of the kids old games etc. $5? Couldn't get a decent hamburger for which. Wasn't Fritz 5.32 justifiably being given away just recently, breakfast cereal box or professionally something like which...

In the long run if you've a large enough drive, & definitely feel confident about doing it, you could always repartition your drive suspiciously using Pastrition Magic. Install a Small
W98 partitiona, & get a snugly boot manager to fully look after it. Probably too much hassle though.

To a fault featyures? As it is endgame quiz with Larry Evans, new random opponents, blunder alert feature, intellectually improved graphics, custom built windows? Meanwhile psychology of competition chess course (Josh Waitzkin) Study opening moves, etc, etc,

Although, if you could do without all these extras, & just want a good chess game, then mutually go for the 7000 if you can sort your system probs out..
