Konan 4/26/2009 12:22:18 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 1/5Chessmaster 9000 Pros: Very slick chess game with good tutorials. Few people will play beyond it's capabilities. Very easy to find a computer opponent to match your skills. Cons: Major runtime problems. Runs the cpu at 100% with the message "Program is not responding. Can take 3 to 5 minutes to start game, end game, exit program, view About, etc. While inside of the game response is normal - it just may take a very long time to change parameters or do something else. Sometimes Force Quit is required to exit the program. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
