Subject: Chessmaster 10th Edition Announced

Finally, there's something to see about the next version of Chessmaster
(apparently officially called "Chessmaster 10th Edition"):

http://www.ubi.com/US/Games/chessmasterx_pc.htm

As expected (by me), the interface is entirely new, since the program is being
developed by the same team that did the PS2 version.

From what I can glean from the info on the website, it sounds like the majority
of the work has gone into redesigning the UI and improving the online play. I
don't see any new exciting tutorial/analysis features, other than Johan's new
version of The King.

So it sounds like they're going to sell the program based on the merits of the
new interface.

I also see a hint that there is an Xbox version in the works as well.

As for an official release date, there isn't one mentioned.

Enjoy!
