So, I think Ubisoft has already abandoned the project.Please see the Chessmaster 10th Edition FAQs for more details. I mean, come on, it says on Kramnik's profile that a reunification match with Topalov is expected. the interface is exactly the same.Īs I said, even the chess players' biographies aren't touched. Only Waitzkin's new lectures and the variants. I think they've hired some guy to work on variants and that's it) They have done nothing. There were very good, again, simple suggestions to get rid of them.Īnd how did the chessmaster staff respond to all those? (I don't think there is a staff actually. In the forums, in a thread about the expectations from the new version, we had explained everything in detail, there were a lot of very simple and easy-to-fix things (not only bugs) that created great annoyance for the users. Why do you doubt there will be another version?īecause they have done absolutely nothing to get rid of the bugs or other annoying stuff in the previous version. I seriously doubt if there'll be another version by the way. But if you've already seen Waitzkin's other stuff from the older version, then you could evaluate it yourself. I don't think any lecture would come even close to the art of learning in certain aspects. I am interested in the multicore support though. I have a stack of books to get through anyway ) The art of learning lectures sound interesting but I am already paying to access video lectures here at so I don't think I need anymore.
Sounds like there are some benefits to upgrading but it might be wiser to wait for another release or 2 when they add a few more things (Hopefully).
