Subject: Chessmaster 10 Starting a game
I would like to be able to load Chessmaster and hit play and be able
to play my chosen opponent each time. I am working on a computer
player that would be challenging to me.

It would also be nice if it randomly chose color and always put me at
the bottom.


The way I am playing the game now I have to

Load Chessmaster
Pick Play
Pick Setup position
Pick Starting position (if this is my second game)
Pick Black/White
Then confirm that I want to play with the current player.
Then I have to rotate the board if I change starting color.

Surely there is an easier way to play a predefined player.

Chessmaster will always remember the settings (players, time control
and colors) of the last game, even between sessions. Here's a faster
way to get where you want in CM 10th.

Load CM 10th
Pick Play
Pick Training Mode
Press CTRL+I (Switch Sides) if you want to play the side other than the
one you are playing now

That's it.

To start a second game, press CTRL+N (New Game), select OK, and then
CTRL+I again if you want to play the other side.

That is faster.
