It's good for the software company, because it tends to give them a continuing revenue stream - but it's a bad deal for the buyer. My biggest objection to your suggestion is that the learning modules are a time-based subscription model. I'm actually surprised anybody can get ChessMaster Grandmaster to run on a Windows 7,8, or 10 computer. I'm sure in 5 years, a lot has been added to the program. I think I paid less than $30 for it, back in 2015. Sadly, the price has gone up a lot in the 5 years since I bought my copy. It's geared for learning, so it doesn't have a lot of functionality as Fritz, but it takes the best parts of ChessMaster geared toward learning, and does a much better job.įor just learning to play better chess, it's like Chessmaster's training stuff on steroids.
If you can swing the price, Chess King 21 is probably the best standalone Chess playing programing for learning. How can I practice to improve against the computer in this case? Any ideas? Additionally, it forces me to stop playing "hope chess"- I can't put my faith on tactics because the computer has already accounted for them in its defense. This is where the computer stops blundering pieces and doing unfavorable exchanges. For me, that would mean the 1200-1400 elo range. You also have to copy the folder Chessmaster 9000 in the documents folder in windows 8, to the documents folder in windows 10.Ĭhessmaster 9000 runs perfect on my windows 10 64 bit PC.I just got a copy of Chessmaster Grandmaster edition (very hard to come by) to try to progress against some of the tougher (for me anyways) computer personalities. Than in windows 10 you just past this folder in program files. You have to copy the folder Ubisoft in program files in windows 8 after you installed Chessmaster 9000. It is not possible to install Chessmaster 9000 in windows 10 but it is possible to run it in windows 10. You first have to uninstall the Windows Update KB3086255 on Windows 7/8/8.1Īnd enable DirectPlay in Windows 8/8.1/10 9K remains one of my fav chess sims, but it does not seem to play nice with Win10 on a work machine (gotta love the admin priv!).alternately, get dirt on youyr sys admin, and blackmail them for access (dirty evil chuckles in the background) It is possible to install Chessmaster 9000 in Windows 8, you can even run it in windows 10.īut you have to be patient, the installation program of Chessmaster 9000 in windows 8 will pop up in 5 minutes or so, after clicking on setup.
