Pros

Chessmaster 9000 is the most enjoyable chess game i have ever played. It plays its multiplayer over ubi.

Overall - far from superb, but excellent value for your money.

Competitiveness

I've tried kasparov's checkmate and this is definitely better.

I recommend that owners of chessbase engines try out chessmaster before they condemn this product-- both fritz and chessmaster ... Read More

Also, the skill level has increased to being on par with the world champions (appx.

It does, however, have many more options than the chessmaster 6000 and is overall a much better product.
