It's an "easter egg". Go to "Help -> About Chessmaster 8000" (from any room).
You will see a "slideshow" in the "About" dialog in which the picture changes
every five seconds. There are about three dozen pictures. When the picture of
the Chessmaster 2000 box is displayed, RIGHT-click anywhere on the picture of
the box. Chessmaster 2000 (v1.21) will be run automatically.
