:: Chessmaster 9000

Playing online with others

Chessmaster Live is a seperate component that you can use to start a game with others. It was simple to use. I joined and started a new game with ease. Playing with others was almost as easy beating me. I was soundly beaten numerous times. Well, guess I'll have to spend some more time in the classroom before I can win against any "real" opponents.

The only dissapointing feature of Chessmaster 9000 was the number of people logged in to play online. I never found more than 6 people online at a time. The game is new, so let's hope that this feature of the game develops more interest.

Even if you couldn't find anyone to play with, there are enough personalities and features in the game to keep you busy forever. I really enjoyed the game and plan to make it a regular.
