The skill each personality is controlled by setting the amount of time that the computer has to think, as well as the number of moves that attempts to plot out. Some are modeled after great chess players of historical significance while others reflect a particular style of play. Between these extremes are fourteen personalities which have no obvious ranking. The inherent skill of these opponents ranges from very simple (Novice) to very difficult (Chessmaster). Chessmaster 3000 moves away from a strictly hierarchical series of difficulty levels and, instead, presents a number of distinct computer personalities. One departure from traditional chess programs is in the way computer opponents are presented. In going beyond what was then on the market, Software Toolworks added a number of options that make Chessmaster 3000 truly impressive sequel. The user interface supports a mouse, keyboard and joystick. The documentation is complete and relatively comprehensive, as is now expected from the exceptional Chessmaster series. There are the usual 2D and 3D displays, as well as some creative icons for those bored with the more traditional chess pieces.

Chessmaster 3000, for example, offered sharp smooth 256 VGA graphics along with Soundblaster/AdLib sound. What makes every edition worthwhile is its thorough updates to the underlying engine, as well as aesthetic improvements using the computer hardware then available on the market. One might wonder how much can a company add to previous Chessmasters? The answer for this and every incarnation of Chessmaster is - a lot.

In the extremely rare event I cannot get this title to work on your system I will take it back for a full refund. Rapid response technical support for three years is always an e-mail or phone call away.
