Go up one level in this thread


I put the Dr. Schiller Teaches Chess on my Krash list.
Chess Academy 2.0 for DOS and it's companion instructional software did
not get a very good review.
Power Chess 1 got a bad review
Corel Chess got a bad review
IAMGM chess database got on my Krash list.
The Monarch datbase made it on my Krash list.

With every review that I have ever done, any fault that I have either
discovered or confirmed has made it into the review. Typically my
reviews list at least 30 -40 faults or bugs within the software.

The only piece of software that I have bought recently is CM5500.
Almost all of the software I receive is review copies.
