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

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

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.

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

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 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

@BILL P. I'm not running XP, I'm running Windows 3.11 in DOSBox, which was from my original install disk when I bought a new computer way back in the early 90's. Windows works that way, but the sound drivers in Windows obviously won't run my modern laptop's sound card, and the video only shows 16 colors as well. That's why when I try to run the CM3000 install disk it keeps popping up with an error about no sound card and won't let the install finish. I don't remember if I've downloaded this version and tried it or not, but I'll give it a shot.

To JOJO MAMA, another commenter on this site, my suggestion for your problem is, first, download the software. If its an archive, extract all the files into one folder first. After that, you can now see the main executable file. it is usually longer (more bytes) than other executables in the same folder. Now, right click on this exe file. Then, select "Give it a desktop shortcut". Then proceed to your desktop. Right click on that icon you just created. Then, select "Properties". Then do this PROPERTIESCOMPATIBILITY. Then, check the "Run in compatibility mode" box. Then, a menu selection appears. Select the appropriate OS. Then, that's it. I hope this helps. I'm talking of the use of Windows XP. If you're using XP, this is exactly what you're gonna do.

One of my childhood memories, I've played the windows version a long time ago. And btw, how could they get the chinese translation wrong? Xiangqi is chinese chess, NOT western chess. Why is it that a lot of asians rarely get translations right?

I have this version for Windows 3.x but I can't get it to play under Windows 3.11 in DOSBox because naturally I don't have any drivers for Windows 3.x for my modern laptop. So every time I try to run it it will pop up with an error message. Thank you very much for providing the DOS version. Can't wait to try it.

@Excel: You need to run it through DOSBox. Notice how it clearly states this is a DOS game in the description?

Compared it with Chessmaster 2000. The look and interface changed, I needed some time to get used to it. I like it's very detailed tutorial plus "Natural language advice" feature - when the program shows you the best next move with detailed explanation of what it will accomplish. Great tool to learn to think several moves ahead.
