The box that Chessmaster comes in proudly states that there have been over 4
million sold (I believe that is right).  The instruction book contained within
references the Chessmaster.com site as a general reference resourse for the
product.

Now, the new owners of the product have chosen not to keep the site active.
That's _NOT_ my idea of responsible customer service for millions of owners.
There is also a new patch (beyond 1.02) that addresses other product issues; yet
remains in limbo.  In my opinion these indicators do not bode well for the
future viability of Chessmaster.
