Whether you're new to chess programs or a CHESSMASTER veteran, you'll discover that Chessmaster 10th Edition is the most comprehensive chess software available. Old friends will quickly realize that the 10th Edition is one of the most important updates of the franchise in both graphics and content.

Here are just some of the most important all-new or completely revised elements:

• A brand-new, clean, clear, and easy-to-navigate user interface.
• A full-featured online chess module, allowing players to communicate, compete, and learn from each other.
• The new Chessmaster Academy, where International Master Josh Waitzkin will introduce players to the world of chess and GM Larry Christiansen will review the attacking concept.
• More than 30 full 3D chess sets, including the first animated chess sets in a Chessmaster PC game, and the option to view all the 3D sets in enhanced 3D using glasses with red/cyan lenses.
• A large selection of game modes for greater replay value.
• A section that's completely dedicated to just playing for fun with simplified tools, simplified drills, and a variety of chess puzzles - a great section for kids who are new to the game.
• The updated version of the King - the chess engine behind Chessmaster.
