I like playing little tournaments in the game, and I like facing the big bad chessmaster usually in the final ( one time, a 1600 player somehow destroyed the field, including me ). I also like the teaching addon it has. This is useful to me. I have owned almost every version of CM in the past, other than CM7000, and I will probably get both this year to round out the collection.
