The other thing is, with previous versions of Chessmaster, using a smaller
screen resolution was the only way to make the boards larger (exception: the
Custom Board, which is rather hokey, IMO). Now, you can finally use a large
screen resolution, make the board any size you want, and fill the rest of the
real estate with child windows.

It's about time, I guess.... ;-)
