Go up one level in this thread


Thanks for posting about (potential), CM8000 enhancements.  One thing that all
CCC people seem to agree about was that technical support for Chess Master was
either little, or non-existent.  So the presence (hope you don't mind be called
this), of an 'Insider', to tell us what's going on in the developement team is
to be cherished!

Now for my wish list, and/or fantasy list of what I'd like to see in Chess
Master or the King engine...

* Handling of pgn. comparable to other well-known programs.

* More one click options (Taking back a move shouldn't require the use of the
control key & the T key!), and 'hot' buttons.

* More choices oh how to install the program - I think you hinted at this in
regard to DirectX.  I think people who have bought the program in the past, and
have had compatibility problems, (as well as anyone scared by reading about
this), would be relieved to know that a custom instalation was available that
would be unlikely to screw up their system.

* Lincensing rights to Johan de Koenig to sell his engine to other
companies,(This is definately, mostly a dream scenerio), like Chess Base.  I'd
love to be able to buy the aggressive King engine for Fritz6:)
