Subject: The kinds of questions that NOBODY here has to answer....

Thankfully, everybody at this website is (relatively) technologically savvy.
However, some of the e-mails that the Chessmaster team gets from VERY typical
users are quite amusing, so I thought I'd share some of them with you.

Enjoy!

-------------
I recently purchased the Chessmaster 7000 game. While playing a few
games in the game room, I would almost have my opponent beat when the
game would declare a stalemate. I had most of my pcs. on the board while
my opponent was down to a few pawns and king. I was clearly on my way to
victory before game was stopped. Why is this? Game not worth playing
with this stalemate feature. Please help.
-------------
I've got a couple of questions pertaining to your Chessmaster 5500. It is a
dull-witted Chess"master" indeed who sacrifices his own Queen each & every
opportunity of every scenario just to get the opponent's queen. Secondly,
there does not seem to be a way to toggle off the "en passant" maneuver --
which is a game option. Is there any way to toggle off the "en passant"
option?
-------------
And... my favorite....

THE TRUE CHESS MASTERS ARE MOORS AND THEY INTRODUCED THE GAME WHEN THEY CAME
INTO EUROPE.  WHY DO YOU HAVE THIS PICTURE OF THIS HOMELESS LOOKING MAN ON
THE COVER.  IT'S JUST LIKE LOOKING AT A BOX OF KING VITAMIN CEREAL --- DOES
HE LOOK HEALTHY?  AND WHAT MAKES THIS MAN LOOK LIKE A CHESS MASTER WHEN HE'S
NOT EVEN  WORTHY OF THE TITLE.  PEACE & MAY THE TRUE FATHER OF CREATION FIND
YOU WORTHY OF A BLESSING.

The first two are VERY common ones, and some of these accuse the program of
cheating!

Hope I made a few of you laugh....
