When moving the ChessMaster announces your move with a voice but when in book or when responding immediately to your move it does not announce it's move although it will highlight the "to/from" squares when it moves. Other than that the board is blank as you would want. This might be fixed if you mention it to John Merlino here before the patch is completed. Seems to me that announcing the Chessmasters moves would be nice for people who are really blind and would like to play it. Jim
