Go up one level in this thread
>1) Which ratings ranges of personalities do you use or play against?
GM-personalities.
>
>2) Do you play Rated Games in the Tournament Room?
Yes.
>
>3) Do you create tournaments in the Tournament Room? If so, do you include human
>users (like yourself) in these tournaments?
1)Yes. 2)Planning to.
>
>4) Do you think there should be more "human" personalities, less "human"
>personalities, or do you think the number of these personalities is just right?
I like the GM-personalities and have saved the old ones from previous
versions of CM. So my answer would be that I want these to be more -
maybe also IM-personalities?!
>
>5) Do you wish that you were able to create larger tournaments (i.e. more than 8
>players in a round-robin tournament, or more than 32 players in a Swiss
>tournament)? If so, how many would you like to include in these types of
>tournaments?
Yes, I wish round-robins would be up to 16 players.
>
>6) Have you ever gone to the Library?
Not the CM one, no...;-)
>
>7) Have you ever used the Opening Book Editor? If so, have you ever wished that
>you could create books with more than 64K moves in them?
No. But for sure I want an option to create an opening book, say
between 1-100 MB big.
>
>8) Do you play chess online? If so, have you ever used Chessmaster (any version)
>to play chess online?
1)Yes 2)No
>
>9) Do you own Chessbase (any version)?
Yes.
>
>10) Have you ever gone to the Classroom? If so, what portions of the curriculum
>have you COMPLETED? (to the best of your recollection -- please don't bother to
>take the time to look unless you really want to.... ;-)
No.
>
>11) Have you ever imported an XBoard compatible engine into Chessmaster? If so,
>what did you think of the import process and the overall XBoard support?
Yes, several of them. I'm very positive about the import process and
the overall XBoard support. Tremendous improvment since CM6000...
>
>12) Do you wish that there were more or less chess sets and boards to choose
>from?
I like sets/boards, so more is better. Preferably 2-D and "normal"
boards with wooden textures. And some big piece-sets, usable with full
screen boards.
>
>13) Have you ever changed the "wallpaper" for any room?
Yes, I have tried these out - but prefere a "calm", nondistracting
background.
>
>14) What setting do you use for piece movement sounds (Spoken Move
>Announcements, Thematic Sounds, Simple Sounds or No Sound)?
Simple sounds - I like the thuds...
>
>15) Does it bother you that Chessmaster 8000 requires the CD at all times? If
>so, how much (on a scale of 1 to 5, where 5 is you are VERY bothered)?
Yup, I'm very bothered so this is a clear "5". Got a non-cd patch for
the previous version - but not for the latest one.
>
>16) Have you ever created a personality?
Yes.
>
>17) Do you think there are too many personality variables, not enough variables,
>or just the right amount of variables?
I think the variables are about right.
>
>18) If you think there should be more personality variables, what would you
>suggest?
-
>
>19) If you owned Chessmaster 6000/5500/5000, what do you think of the interface
>change for Chessmaster 7000/8000 (the "room metaphor")?
I like it.
>
>20) What resolution do you use on your monitor?
1024x768
>
>21) What windows do you REGULARLY have open in the Game Room?
Board, clock and movelist.
>
>22) Do you think there are too many "Windows" available in the Game Room?
No, there is an "x" button...
>
>23) What chess set/board combination do you prefer to use?
Custom board, a big full screen 2D-board + biggest pieces.
>
>24) Do you wish that there were larger chess sets/boards included in the game?
>How about smaller chess sets/boards?
Yes, I would like a couple of nice, big wooden 2D-boards, like the Fritz'
ones. Possible to use in full screen size. Bigger pieces.
>
>25) If you have an official chess rating, what is it? If you do NOT have an
>official chess rating but play a lot of chess, what do you estimate your rating
>to be?
No official rating. Previous national rating about 2300.
