I bought the program to play it. I've played some program-program matches and it's OK, but I didn't get off on it like some folks here do. My time is limited. All I've got time for is a dozen or so blitz games a day. I guess I could turn that into one long game, but, hey, I'm gonna lose whether it's a long game or blitz games and you get to see more fireworks more blitz games than one long game. I guess I don't take it personal. And if you're into this type of thing, playing blitz against a computer, it looks like gambit tiger is way more fun than Fritz or Chessmaster. If you need to win a game, dumb down fritz or play one of those dumb Chessmaster personalities. I'd like to see Chessmaster get some pictures of some stupid looking people and put them in there as stupid personalities and not make any excuses for them. Like on CM 6000 and 7000, they make excuses for the dummies with remarks about how this guy is just starting out. I was disappointed to see that Rebel doesn't work with the ChessPartner GUI. And I got prompted for a serial when I went to install it, and nobody's given me a serial. rc
