Subject: Weekend 1200 player here / which program is is best for training?

Hi!

I would just like to know what computer chess program people think is best for a
low rated player to improve his chess with, I.e., which program is best for
training, studying and learning from?

On a side note, why is it that most programs not include the old DESCRIPTIVE
NOTATION?  I have many old books (especially Dover books) in my library that
only use this notation and it would be easier to follow along a game if I could
select this option.

Also, I heard that DeKonig's contract is ending soon with Mindscape.  Any
rumours who might be the next programmer to continue the Chessmaster line? Also,
what has happened to W-Chess and M-Chess? Are these programs still being worked
on? Any rumours?
