After applying the patch, the custom chessboard won't work properly anymore. Note that I only use the 2D custom board with the figurine chess pieces in the Game Room. When attempting to load a layout which I had setup and saved before applying the patch, it showed multiple overlapped custom chessboards (a mess) without any chess pieces. While playing around with it, trying to restore the custom board and pieces, trying to redefine the setup, trying to save and load the layout from disk, etc., I either get a fatal system error message: "Chessmaster caused an invalid page fault in module ANIM8.DLL at..." or when CM is started-up initially, or the layout is loaded from disk, the custom chessboard is empty (no chess pieces). I wondered if the patch had downloaded properly. My first patch download gave cm8k101.exe, 618,925 bytes. So I redownloaded the patch to see if the number of bytes was the same. It's the same. So, I suppose I'll have to uninstall/reinstall CM8k then apply the patch again. That should indicate whether there was some kind of anamolous corruption of my original CM8k installation that's causing the problem. I'll report back later... WP
