And I am bored with it. It will not save nor load up again changes to the settings, I hate the ones that are default. This has just given all the people who trash chessmaster the perfect opportunity to rubbish it saying that it is only for the mass market. And I am afraid that CM7K I will not defend in anyway. It is for the mass market, mindless people who want to play pretty chess games, unfortunatly even the kids I have shown it too like it less than CM6K which they love. To big a change for one version, I am still getting over how slack the programming has been. In this day and age, how can such a large company stuff up so bigtime.
