Fernanado, I am the author of ChessPartner and as such I have to disagree. ChessPartner has been around for a long time in various versions, under various names (LCHESS, Schaakmeester, CP ) Over the years we have had many reviews most of them very positive, mainly because of the great number of features. I always have been listening to suggestions but I can not do anything with comments like: "is poor, obsolete ... etc". The program has a comparable set of features with the other programs, so I guess it all comes down to cosmetics, some like it some don't. You also mention it has no 3D boards, well it does have it, so I must conclude you have not looked very good at it ! From the other comments I take some people don't like the pieces, this is very easy to fix, the Rebel pieces will be included in the combined product. Any feedback is welcome, but please be more specific then 'I don't like it' !
