The company that developed it (the >one that I work for) is called Fluent Entertainment. I shall be looking for it in the UK (not available from amazon.co.uk yet). I must say that, on a quick look at Vivendi's site, it has far more to offer than Kasparov Chessmate (which, although it uses the Ruffian engine, goes too far towards minimalism) and could well put a spoke in the wheels of Virtual Chess 3, which has been delayed two or three times now ... Alastair PS In one of the positions - screenshot 5 - how did a Black bishop turn up on f5 with eight Black pawns still on the board and Black pawns still on b7 and d7? ;) Ridiculous positions are a stock-in-trade of chess advertising, but illegal ones take that to a new level!
