Ideal Software to start with

The chess advantage software package offered a fantastic selection of chess software for the begininer to intermediate chess player. I found Maurice Ashley teaches chess a fantastic way to learn the basic strategies and techniques of chess. Grand Master Chess also had some good audio/ written tutorials ( but I found the playing engines has some bugs in it). Chess Master 4000 was a excellent playing program. And the intro membership to ICC was great! Combat chess was fun to watch.. but of little value to helping you improve.

Great programs. Great price.

I ordered this pack simply to try out combat chess. It's a newer version of a very old game called battle chess. The pieces fight when they capture. Animation is good, and it makes the game humorous. The pack also includes Maurice Ashley Teaches Chess. This is probably my favorite because you get to watch actual chess games between Grandmasters! Maurice comments on the moves and explains why they were made. I find it fascinating to watch the 13-year-old Bobby Fischer outwit his opponent by thinking 10-13 moves ahead. This program is good for children or beginner players because the first few lessons explain in detail how each piece moves, how the game is played etc... It is also good for higher-level players because the advanced lessons are good memory and logic exercises. For you windows 2000 users, these are the only two programs that will run. That is unfortunate, but they are 2 very good programs, and I would have still purchased this product if I knew that ahead of time.

Excellent Starter Pack!

This pack includes several chess programs and a six month membership in the Internet Chess Club. The ICC membership alone is worth the price of the software. The pack includes Chessmaster 4000, an earlier version of the noted chess software series, a solid program for beginning and intermediate players. Also it has Maurice Ashley Teaches Chess, an outstanding program for children by America's newest Grandmaster. His narration makes chess fun and exciting using solid graphics and lessons to get your child started the right way. These programs, plus Combat Chess and Grandmaster Chess Ultra make this package an tremendous value!
