Chessmaster 10

[Geoffrey S]

Does it have an option to watch replays of earlier games I'd have played to look at where things went wrong for either side? And if so, does it also allow the computer to find ideal moves so I can compare what I did to what may have been a better alternative?

Sounds interesting, anyway. A good new chess program is always welcome.

I had the demo for Chessmaster 10 but it expired after eight hours of play.

I bought Chessmaster 9 after I tried the 10 demo. It was only $10. The 10th edition was around $50. The 9th is good, but the 10th edition had a much nicer interface and look to it.

There's no question these chess sims improve your game.

It does have a tutorial mode, no clock, with the ability to let the computer suggest you the best moves in each situation telling you why that move is the best.

At the end of each game you have the option of asking for a complete review of the game with lots of data.

I haven't actually tried saving my own setups and games... I'll do that sometime.

They definitely do. I already learned 3 ways of defending my queen's side today that I haven't thought of before....

Sold. I'll be looking for it once I've got some time then.
