Subject: Remommended hess playing program
|
I think it is time to upgrade my computer and of course I want to
upgrade the chess program I am using. Currently I am using Chessmaster
7000. I like it, but am wondering what the members here would
recommend.
I realize, of course, that I could just get a winboard and Crafty, or a
similar set up, and use that. In fact, I am currently using Crafty as
an analysis engine when I am using SCID. But what I am looking for are
the add ons like instructional materials and reference materials that
made Chessmaster 7000 such a good learning tool for me.
It seems that the choice is between Chessmaster and a member of the
ChessBase family.
Opinions?

What do you want to do with this program? The general recommendation
seems to be that Chessmaster has better tutorial features and is
better at dumbing itself down and Fritz/Shredder is better for
analysis. Chessbase products come with a free year's subscription to
their internet server, which might be important to you.
This is off-topic in rgc.analysis so I've set followups.

I don't think you can beat the Chessbase products for an all around
instruction and learning tools.
