1. Engine is exactly the same as 10K demo - enjoy the free upgrade. 2. So far one WIn2K blue screen of death. WIN2K is not offically supported, your mileage may vary. The blue screen occured while fiddling with the boards. 3. Once again, the expert board is probably the best board for serious players. One neat feature is board resizing by using the page-up/down key -- I don't know if that worked in CM9K. 4. Game databases are updated with games through 2004. 5. All the CM9K tutorials are there plus a couple of new ones. I don't know if you would be happy or disappointed. CM9K was very good, but I was hoping for a tad more. 6. The colores/skins/boards seem to be step down from CM9K. For example, there are only 4 skins available, but 2 of them required rate game wins of 20 or more. Bad idea. So you have the dark blue ,dreary looking CM10K demo skin or a godawful 'casual' skin orange and red skin. 7. Full install takes about 2GB. Comes on 3 CD's. 8. Still plays one mean game of chess.
