Wel,..it's certainly chessmaster. I don't know if the staunton figurines are
copyright by Ubisoft thought. If I'm not mistaken I saw the very same red/white
figures already in another chessgame several years ago. But I'm not sure.
However, the board is definetly from CM. I don't know if that was such a good
choice, if I would "borrow" from other programs, I would chose a better design
:-)
