Yes me too, I really hope we're going to see a new MChess Version this year (although I have to admit that I'm totally satisfied with this one already ;-) But, to be honest, I don't care if it's a windows version or still a dos version, because I like MChess's Dos interface and have never had any problems with it. Sure, you shouldn't buy MChess if you're looking for the most feature-packed program around, or searching for a good database package. But as a pure chess program it has everything you need (still a *lot* of features in it). >>Chessmaster 6000 >>---------------- >>A very solid program.

Maybe I'll try these settings some day, in another tournament. >Thanks for this post. Thanks for your reply. Heiko.
