This is not possible, unfortunately.

Microsoft "decreed" that all folder/files that can be modified by a user MUST be
put in a sub-folder of "My Documents" to preserve user access rights
(specifically, if a user only has rights to portions of a hard drive, such as
would be likely in schools or at really security-conscious companies). So, this
is why all of the folders that used to be sub-folders of the "Chessmaster
runtime folder are now under "My Documents".

But it's not TOO bad. A Typical installation only puts about 120MB into the My
Documents folder, and a Complete installation only puts about 285MB there.
