Chessmaster isn't chess software. It's computer game software. The previous paragraph has nothing to do with what's in the box, it relates to how it is marketed and sold. If you go into a computer store, you'll see that new computer game software sells for something around forty to sixty bucks, and if you see it a few months later, it will have dropped in price, and if you see it a year later we're talking ten dollar bin, especially right after the new version has come out. Some computer game software isn't marketed like this, but much of it is. And apparently the publishers of the Chessmaster series market their stuff like this. Chessmaster is the only computer chess software that is marketed like a real computer game in the U.S. bruce
