5.0 out of 5 stars A Perfect Computer Game, December 23, 1999

This review is from: Chessmaster 6000 (CD-ROM)

Real classic games such as chess have been around for hundreds of years. Quake type games come and go, but Chess will be around for centuries more and this version is the best there is. You have 300,000 games on a database that have been played by some of the masters and viewing them has significantly helped my game. The graphics are real as there is a variety of boards to choose from. You can have either a 3-D or 2-D board with a variety of pieces such as metal or wood. I believe this version is even better than the latest from what I have seen. If you want a game that will NEVER be obsolete, get this game. 4 million people cannot be wrong!

The platform info at the top of this Chessmaster 6K page indicates compatibility with "Linux, Mac OS, Unix, Windows Me / 2000 / 95 / 98 / NT". The program does not work with Macintosh. The 2 disks state " WINDOWS 95/98". So don't buy this if you think it's for multiple platforms.

1.0 out of 5 stars Chessmaster 6000 Hates Windows XP, September 26, 2003

This review is from: Chessmaster 6000 (CD-ROM)

I Also have a pentium 4 machine and a AMD anthlon and The Chessmaster 6000 version will not run on either. I reloaded Windows 98 on one system and got it to play. A real disappointment that the 6000 version is such a pain, It is a great program. But then how would they get you to upgrade to the now Chessmaster 9000 version. Kinda sounds like Microsoft's way of doing business doesn't it?
