I remain unimpressed by the opening training app, but perhaps I'm using it wrong.Intel Parallel Studio XE Composer Edition is a software development suite that helps boost application performance by taking advantage of the ever-increasing processor core count and vector register width available in Intel Xeon processors and other compatible processors. I would rather see a program that somehow really mimics the play of a (dare I say it?) 1500-level player (or so) who doesn't make clear one or two-move tactical blunders but might make the kind of mild strategic errors that can be exploited (that's the norm, I think, at my level). While I'm learning by training against this sort of chess, to be sure, it doesn't mirror anything I see from human opponents I face, who never play like this. The problem is, to stoop to my level, CM routinely sacks a piece on f2/f7 early in the game to give me some odds and thereafter plays with Botvinnik-ilke precision.

Like most other computer chess programs, CM10 is highly tactical and as a result I don't really ever play against opponents on my level (which is lamentably low - I'm a class player, and the class is, um, not so high). I think it is helping me with my game, but it's hard to be sure. Aesthetically, you have more chess sets to choose from - the 3D sets haven't aged the best when compared to chess games like Pure Chess or Chess Ultra on the PS4, but again, we are talking about a program that's over 10 years old.Īnd it offers a large number of personalities to play against. If you are a fan of Josh Waitzkin, there is a lot more material from him presented in CM10, including his own tutorial on learning the game from scratch. The interface is much cleaner and classier, and most important to me, the supporting training and study materials are better laid out - more approachable to people that want to delve deeper into the game. I guess I feel a bit guilty too, in that had I, like others, continued to buy the latest versions, Ubisoft may have made enough profit to keep it going (does Ubisoft even exist anymore?) Anyway, I just got my copy (used) of CM10, and I think it blows the socks off 9. Too bad, because with each new version, the program just kept getting more polished, and useful to average Joe players like myself. Was totally surprised to learn that for all intents and purposes (not counting the Grandmaster edition), Chessmaster 10th edition was the end of the line for the series, and that was way back in 2004 (yikes!).
