4 out of 5 stars Good game - if you have the right system   July 3, 2006

I've had this Chessmaster for some time. Great fun. The only thing I would reiterate is that this is for Windows 95/98 only. Windows NT and 2000 will assuredly not work (check the chessmaster6000 website where they say so explicitly). With windows XP some people can get it to work, others not.


3 out of 5 stars Only for Windows 95/98!   March 11, 2005

The platform info at the top of this Chessmaster 6K page indicates compatibility with "Linux, Mac OS, Unix, Windows Me / 2000 / 95 / 98 / NT". The program does not work with Macintosh. The 2 disks state " WINDOWS 95/98". So don't buy this if you think it's for multiple platforms.


1 out of 5 stars Chessmaster 6000 Hates Windows XP   September 27, 2003

I Also have a pentium 4 machine and a AMD anthlon and The Chessmaster 6000 version will not run on either. I reloaded Windows 98 on one system and got it to play. A real disappointment that the 6000 version is such a pain, It is a great program. But then how would they get you to upgrade to the now Chessmaster 9000 version. Kinda sounds like Microsoft's way of doing business doesn't it?


5 out of 5 stars Good for the price.   July 8, 2003
Most places will sell Chessmaster 6000 for a reasonable price, and it will be worth it. Good luck in trying to beat it though.

I bought myself a Chessmaster 6000 PC CD-Rom recently. I'm working on a Pentium 4 using Windows XP, but the game it seems is not compatible with XP - can u give some advice / help?

Thanking you in advance
