Always needing the CD around can be difficult at times This is probably going to be the case for the next version. >3) allow for a couple of Chessmaster personalities to analyze a >position. That would be very interesting This may be available as an undocumented INI file setting. It would probably be a bad idea to allow such a change through the GUI, because some people would forget (or not know) that they changed the personality and then complain about the bad advice! >Also, Will there be a "Gold" version of Chessmaster 8000 that contains all the >patches? I know that Chessmaster has not done that in the past, but other >companies have done that with their games and that has worked out great >(Starfleet Command Gold comes to mind as an example) There are no plans for that. The most recent patch, however, does contain all of the bug fixes, and it's only a little over 1 MB, so there's no real reason to re-release the program just because of that. HOWEVER, now that Ubi Soft owns us, THEY are starting to make CM8000 copies available, and their version is already 1.0.4 and therefore does not require the patch. jm
