Hi All I wonder if I might be able to get some advice from those of you who own Chessmaster 9000. I decided to learn to play Chess properly after years of dusty chess pieces, which one's the queen anyway and using boards as door stops. So I went out and bought CM9000. It's all 3d and everything! oooooh see the board spin and spin and.... oh.. I feel a bit sick now, hold on would you. Ok I'm back, where was I? Ah yes, advice. Here's the thing. I'd quite like to play online, to hone my playing skills to a frightening edge and bask in the heady atmosphere of..erm... a place where they play chess... but I, er, can't make it work. It's broke init. I've already tried emailing ubi-Soft, but with no response and so I wondered if anyone else might have experienced a similar problem. I suppose it might help if I told you what the problem was right? Ok, here goes. In order to play CM9000 on line, you need to have "Ubi.com" installed. I have. It's been on my system for ages. (Ahhhh memories of hi octane fire fights in Rainbow Six) CM9000 starts to load Ubi.com as part of the install, which is fine because it must need updating. But then it stops, reporting that I already have it on board. Problem being that when I try to log on to play online, I get a message that the site has detected that I DON'T have Ubi.com software on the system, would I like to install it. Yes I would, very much thankyou. But twenty seconds later, you already have Ubi.com on board!!! Eh?? As I say, I've been unable to raise a reply at UBi-Soft support so has anyone else encountered and solved this problem? Oh, while I've got you. I see in the manual that ChessMaster Live allows online play, but what about play by mail? I don't see an option for that. Surely this all singing all dancing program has that option? Many thanks for any help you might be able to offer. All the best Badger.
