Please let me know if you need further help. After each update, you should get a confirmation if it installed correctly.
#OSX CHESSMASTER 10 INSTALL#
When you install the updates, make sure they install successfully. If you have problems installing, you should temporarily disable any anti-virus/firewall software you are funning. Remember to install the updates (For each update, you must also right-click and select 'Run As Administrator').ħ. This doesn't cause any problems as multiple versions of DirectX can be installed on the same machine.Ħ.
#OSX CHESSMASTER 10 WINDOWS 10#
Chessmaster requires this version to run it cannot use the version of DirectX that comes with Windows 10 (Version 12). You must install the version of DirectX that comes on the CD (which I believe is Version 9).
#OSX CHESSMASTER 10 FULL#
You must do a full installation to the default folder.ĥ. When you install, you install as the Administrator (right click on Setup.exe and select 'Run As Administrator'.Ĥ. Make sure that you have the latest Windows Updates installed.ģ.

#OSX CHESSMASTER 10 DRIVERS#
Make sure you have all the latest video/audio drivers installed on your machine.Ģ. If so, then perhaps you should un-install and start from the beginning.ġ. Did you install the version of DirectX that came on the DVD?Īlso, when you installed the updates, did you install them as the Administrator? it's also difficult too because they will usually make their ending move instantly (1 second) while you think forever, and half the time I lose on time lol.Your answer isn't clear. I agree with you except for computers not playing endings well - computers play endings soooo good even at the crappiest levels. Do not play blits if u want to improve, play blitz if you want to have some fun Go play online at ICC,, (free!, excellent site). Useless to say that this will never improve your play. Exchange and reduce the material to ending Thus, playing a computer opponent, u have to just:Ģ.

A 1800-rated comp opponent knows openings for 1700-2000 level, plays tactics like a 2200 player, closed positions and engames like 1500. The main problem with playing weak computer opponent is that it is always very imbalanced. Some games are very very well annotated, especially the games of Seirawan, because he has annotated them, and they are really great. Waitskin's tutorials are great, especially the ones where he talks more about pown structures and less about psycologyĪlso, watch the "famous" games section. Shredder is known for its solid play and much better endgame knowledge than other programs. It makes an attack from nothing, and can overcalculate all other programms. I have Junior8 and some other engines too, and I just get pissed when I watch Junior playing other engines(say, Fritz8). I agree that Junior is much stronger than CM. In fact, computer plays the endings very bad compared to other phases of the game. And yes, its weaker personalities throw away material. It takes shitload of time, but that's probably the only thing that really pays off. Playing long time controls and analyzing those games is also good thing. They were always pretty slick, I liked them, but I'm a firm believer that, unless you are already excellent player, getting a good book and wooden board is going to do much more for your game then iterating through some excercises on computer, no matter how clever they are done. Not only those are the strongest programs, they have a lot of add-ons and chess materials available for them.Įducational value - I don't know.

Playing with computers is terrible anyway, it takes a lot of aspects out of the game.įor analysis purposes you better buy Fritz (Shredder/Junior). Not only they have enough live opponents (most of them are in blitz, but I'm always able to find longer time control games on ICC), you can always find wide variety of computers over there to play with (any skill level, any time control). #8 If you need opponents to play with, you are much better off with buying ICC () or membership (~50$/year, less for students).
