Hi Jim >Yes, CM9000 merely required "any 3D video card that has drivers that are >compatible with DirectX 8.1". this is the point isnt it? its chess Jim there is no need to require 3D anything for a chess game >going to completely eliminate the 2D sets in the next version, which the >Romanian team accomplished. The CM9000 design team felt that the "flat" 3D sets >were much preferable to the 2D sets, because they were fully resizeable. i venture to guess that most players when trying to play a game against the computer,default to the 2D sets i know i do 2D is more like reading a diagram in a chess book which everyone is familiar with and lends itself more to serious play > >So, the CMX000 team has said that Chessmaster is now a 3D product, why should a chess program be only 3D? Fritz ,Shredder,Rebel etc etc are not 3D only . at least give players an option to run the program or play online with a 2d only setup it cant possibly take much more programming code to do that i think you are eliminating a whole group of purchasers for what would be a very easy adjustment to the program >As for your 82815 board at work, that chipset caused both Chessmaster and >Majestic Chess to have problems. I believe that there were workarounds in both >cases, but I don't recall what they were. Cmaster 9k ran like a charm.no problem at all Majestic..i needed to change the config file to not require the enhanced graphics i thank you for your explanations,but i would repectfully submit that Ubisoft needs to re-think this 3D only concept they might be a gaming company,but the game in question is not Mortal Kombat...it chess Best Steve
