"Clean, clear and easy-to-navigate, this all new interface represents
the biggest upgrade to the look and feel of Chessmaster in over seven
years." What a pity: I have nothing seen of the above promises and
the 3D-chessboards shown with the sreenshots are surely not suitable
to play real chess. Why not show the 2D-interface for people who
wants "to play chess" instead of just playing a game for fun.
