Comments and reviews
It took some work but I got it running on Linux, using Proton 6.4. You may have to copy the Data folder from the disc image into the installation directory manually to clear errors related to accessing the optical drive.
Yes this is very good, we can absorb every step like a bed of roses and of course we hope that the forest will be fertile again. So there is no golf course in the head, yes of course. Thank you
When I play chess games with this game I feel a deeper and deeper, yes of course because it is deep.and without me realizing itchronic baldness has occurred, and of course it is difficult to find a cure, all of it is very deep, yes of course in a deep thing. Thank you and respectful greetings
i just want to say OH MY GOD.thank you very much and respectful greetings
Guys, I'm literally making the most unique and hyper modern interface or mod for chest master 11 ever to be made. I could give you the md file listing all the features but I think you should read the chess master 11 forum post I made on chess.com and if you want to join and see progress, check my Discord.

I've seen this pattern in the computer chess community for years. First people praise something, then they get used to receiving updates, features, and upgrades for free and that's a very good thing. We saw similar attitudes around previous engines and GUIs - Rybka, Houdini, Komodo, HIARCS Chess Explorer and others. Many people want professional-grade software, enterprise-grade stability, impeccable documentation, constant updates, and open-source access, completely free and legal. I think sharing will make life happier than being a stingy human being, making hair falling, pathetic and a golf course in the head. Thank you and respectful greetings
there are 2 imposters out there, lifeline's data base got hacked into and they stole info on us elderly people, I am a very poor old man, so I appreciate I a free download. It 2 attempts the 2nd was successful, Thank You very much I love Chess.
what are some of these comments bro
When I play this game, I feel like I'm playing chess. And that, of course, because it's a game of chess, yes, of course it's a great feeling, it's hard to explain why hair falls out and of course in the end there's a golf course on the head, yes of course. Thank you
This is an exciting game, I have been talking to the chess board for a long time but until now there has been no answer, even though it was a hint from my chess teacher. This made me even more confused, because the chess board never answered anything? Then I asked my friend, and my friend suggested that I talk to the surfboard and now frankly from the bottom of my heart I am getting more and more confused.
Now there are so many free chess programs and chess machines, on the one hand I am very happy and on the other side I feel sad, I am afraid that my hair will fall out and cause strange chronic baldness, maybe I just feel jealous of the current generation in my time when I have very few options and have to buy. But thank you so much, because sharing makes your life happier than being a stingy human being.
Het schaakspel is een spannend iets, we moeten goed nadenken, met het schaakbord praten en de haarlokken vragen die uitvallen, en in de laatste schaakfase vinden we het antwoord op chronische kaalheid die niet meer te genezen is. Respectvolle groeten en hartelijk dank.
Me gusta mucho este juego, el ajedrez te hace pensar en cómo lidiar con la caída del pelo, tienes que preguntar al tablero de ajedrez y escuchar la inevitable calvicie crónica. ¡Muchas gracias
Les bonnes décisions viennent de l'expérience, et l'expérience vient des programmes/moteurs gratuits ! Cela réduit la perte de cheveux et la calvitie chronique ! Impressionnant, j'adore
This game is very good, we have to look at it from a different point of view, we have to talk to the chessboard and permeate the strands of hair that fall out as an undeniable form of chronic baldness accumulation. Therefore I would like to express my gratitude and respectful greetings
Gli scacchi sono una conversazione con la scacchiera, a volte con rocce, muri, e può persino essere considerato folle. La nostra macchina ti insegna come ascoltare la perdita di capelli affinché non si verifichi calvizie cronica. Grazie
Este juego es muy interesante y te hace pensar en cómo prevenir la calvicie por la caída del cabello, porque piensas demasiado, no hay cura efectiva y puede llevar a una calvicie crónica. Parece una broma, pero esta es la etapa final del ajedrez. Tenemos que encontrar un buen remedio, gracias
Very cool! I love the FREE PROGRAM. Plus, the free chess machines are awesome! Best regards
I am checking games with Free Program. It's totally crazy! I haven't seen any Program play like this! AWESOME
Quando jogo esse jogo, sinto como se estivesse jogando xadrez. E isso é claro porque é um jogo de xadrez, sim, claro que é uma sensação incrível, difícil de explicar

What seems like a fairy tale today may become a reality tomorrow. Here we have a fairy tale the day after tomorrow.... It is possible that we can grow hair on our heads that become bald from the thought of chess....we asked for an explanation but satisfying answers did not came.... I hope the dear admin does not delete my comment, because what I am saying is a fact, without intending to offend any party. Thank you
I am very touched by this game...every time I play this game, I always cry..I remember my ex who left me...I love seahorses
I think chess is in coins. Humans forever play in one face. Now I'm playing on another face: "Antichess". Computers are like fortres where the owner forgets to close the small door at the back. You must enter through this door. Forget the front, but I forgot the side door, and in the end I chose to breed donkeys, oh it's so beautiful
I think it's a good game, I've been analyzing chess for decades, and finally now I've found the answer, which is to raise ducks, maybe even raise ducks. Thank you. The Duck Rules!!!
I just give likes and comments here to appreciate, I don't download them, I have all these programs, I used to buy them, and I'm not a parasite, it's just a small thing for me, for people who like to comment on parasite please don't post it for free download, because it's so sad now it's 2026 man, it's still lucky that there are people who want to see this game from ancient times!! THANK YOU
I remember when I was a kid I kept rabbits, and those were beautiful times, but now it doesn't feel like I'm old, I think now I'm just going to keep guinea pigs
Without change, something sleeps inside us, and rarely wakes up. Those who sleep must wake up, those who pay must be free, that is the change!! FREE RULES!! Thank you.
For me I have loved chess since I was a child, it is a real passion, but when I am an adult I like the opposite sex, and it is a hidden passion, thank you
Play + Study + Think + Learn + Analyze = Free Program !! Thank you very much
When you see a good program, look for a better free program.
Human chess is partly about tactics and strategy, but mostly about confused
OH MY GOD AWESOME
I'm playing Chessmaster since Nintendo NES...
And this version is the best among them.
i just love it
I've downloaded Chessmatser11 Grandmaster Edition and i've to say it works amazing, even the database. I was looking for so long to have a The Chessmaster game again, cause lost mine years ago during moving out. Been using it since Chessmaster 4000 till Chessmaster 9000. Never had the last ones, thx that i'm able to have the latest one this way.
The one i liked most in the past was this version: The Chessmaster 5500 Deluxe Edition
Chessmaster still is at the top of chess games.
If you install this [ I used virtual box windows 8.1] you have to turn off 3d acceleration in the display settings to avoid the game screen going black after startup. It'll display for a second then go black if you have 3d acceleration checked. i asm going for xp sp3 next
@boyd luapula & @Rick
the actual setup size1.94 GiB for EN
but the version I have includes both EN/FR that explains the size which was huge at its time..
why would it be 3gb when it's less than 1mb in java, insane but i love the game
want to update, I have my files
I'm so happy I could DL this one, I've been playing CM since the 3000-4000 series, there were fantastic at that time and they are still today. The only drawback in this 11th edition is that the fonts are a bit dark in the menus, but otherwise the learning features are simply fantastic. A must for any beginner of the game.
Worked great on Windows 11 without any modification or tweaks. Was so relieved that it was virus-free. Still, good practice to scan the files for viruses with an anti-virus program. Didn't need to install the patch, it downloaded automatically from UbiSoft during installation. Be sure to install the DirectX driver during setup, you'll need a copy of that older driver to play the game (won't work without it). There's both an English and French version of the game, hence the larger file size. Owned several versions of this game when I was younger and loved the voice lessons and analysis. Now I'm introducing my son to the game. Thank you for making this available. Would have bought the software if it wasn't 17 years old lol.
downloaded. works quite well on windows 11.
very nice childhood memory.
thank you for making it available.
Just so you know every single thing I've seen on this website has comments about it giving them viruses
The best for training my kid. Thank you.
I came to thank you for the Trojan of the file, which obviously is not the game
It was nice to find it. Great game.
This holds up to the test of time well. Great programing & a fab learning tool.
I still use chessmaster to train myself
Chessmaster academy and IM Josh Waitzkin tutorials are awesome
I first used it in 2011 I think when I started playing chess
I used Chessmaster3000 and 8000 at that time
I even saved to my cloud storage so I can provide to chess beginners
i'AM THE GREATEST
I've been playing chess in my computer using Chessmaster
Good software but needs updating after all these years! I would pay for it.
I like to play the game
Gracias por el aporte este juego es un superclasico
Moin,
wie kann man denn beim Chessmaster Grandmaster Edition die Schriften vergrößern?
Ich würde mich sehr freuen wenn mir das jemand sagen könnte.
LG
