Subject: CM9K on WIn2K - YES!!

absolutely no problemo on  a Dell 530 workstation running Windows 2000! ...

quick observation - it's the best CM ever.  The defaut settings are more
appealing in the past - a lot more mix and match with the pieces and boards -
although I still like the black and white metal with the black and white
figurine sthe best.

Rated games with wb engines. that's cool.

The biggest ++++ - besides the world class engine with all the goodies and much
larger tournament capability - IM Josh Waitzkin's "The Psychology of
Competition" course.  That is a top tier chess course that alone is worth MORE
than the $39 (less the $10 for almost any previous version of chess master).  If
you had to pay for a chess lecture that good - you would easily pay $125+ and
more likely $200.  He's an excellent speaker and makes very good analogies and
points regarding chess competition.  Anybody who listens to the full course will
play better in their next tournament IMO.

This program will be a top seller and is a great stocking suffer for anybody
interested in chess from the raw beginner to the master and above level

I have never been a big fan of the CM series - but they started to win me over
with CM8K  - they hit a home run here.

Congrats to the Cm9K team!
