Just to set the record straight, MPlayer has absolutely nothing to do with any
decisions regarding the content, coding, marketing or any other aspect concernin
the creation of Chessmaster. Mattel Interactive currently has an agreement with
them regarding having MPlayer as the host of Chessmaster Live. That's as far as
it goes.
