From estimates that I've heard, I would guess that it is going to be in the stores in about 2-3 months. > I saw that the hard drive REQUIREMENT is 450 MB!!!!

IIRC, the hard drive requirement for CM9000 was about 250MB, so I can easily see how they could add 200MB of art -- it's just not that much any more.... > Do you know if Chessmaster series will continue to be >available at the stores?
