Morning All,
Just noticed the first active link to purchase Chessmaster 11 for the pc, says it's due for release on 19/10 preordered mine at £14.99, bargain!
It may not play was well as Hiarcs (well at least the old King engine anyway) et al but it's a very pleasant GUI to use and the tutorials can be fun!
I've no idea what the engine is in this latest release but I do believe that it will be MP capable.
Anticipatory regards
Paul

Do you have any other information about it?
Hi Peter,
Yes I did order from play.com - I have spent lots of money with these guys over the years on DVD's etc and haven't had any issues. I wasn't sure about mentioning commercial links on the forum which is why I was a bit cryptic!
I believe Harvey knows more but is sworn to secrecy - he made a posting on another forum ( ) after playing at Leiden (i think it was) where he'd had a conversation with Johan De Konig. From memory it will have more tutorials from Josh and be MP and I don't think it uses the King engine anymore but that's all I'm aware of.
All a bit vague I know but hey it's a new Chessmaster and I've just got to have it!

Within reason I don't mind the odd commercial link particularly for a product like ChessMaster which many will be interested in.
The conversation I had with Johan at Leiden was that a new king would be released, as part of a new CM, and that it would be MP.
Best Wishes,
Harvey
