I know that a lot of chess players feel like Chessmaster is a toy, and I know that it's engine isn't as strong as Fritz, Houdini, Rybka, etc., but I have Fritz 13, and personally, I feel as though the tutorials for a beginner/intermediate chess player are much better and more structured in the Chessmaster series. I just figured some of you may want to know. After youve downloaded CrossOver check out our YouTube tutorial video to the left, or visit the CrossOver ChromeOS walkthrough for specific steps.

The cheapest I could find Chessmaster 10 was about $40, until today. I found it on Amazon for about $20 including delivery.

I realize that they have been discontinued, and for that reason, Chessmaster 11 (the last version) is ridiculously high ($99). I was a big fan of the Chessmaster series and I owned 3 different versions, but I have no idea of what happened to them over the years. I just recently got back in to playing chess, just as a hobby.
