The "future viability of Chessmaster" is alive and well. The chessmaster.com
website is merely one of several URL victims of legal wranglings between Ubi
Soft and The Learning Company. Just last week, Ubi Soft paid for the rights to
the URL, so I know they want to keep it. WHEN it will actually be restored (and
WHEN the 1.0.3 patch will be made available) is still unknown to me.
