Are You Happy With The Online Service of Chessmaster Grandmaster Edition? I just want to know how you rate it. Compared to Free and Non Free Online Chess Services such as below. In the case of Chessmaster 10th edition, has it gotten better or worst?

Compared to these:

Chessbase's Playchess

Chess Assistant's ChessOK

The Free Internet Chess Server (FICS)

ChessClub.com's ICC

Chessmaster 10th Edition

The game is fine but the service and support are horrible.
I purchased the game online and never recieved a key to play online.
Going through the ticket support arena i was told that is an issue they are working on.
It would have been nice to know something like that up front.
The main purpose for buying was the online play.

The problem is that the community is too small.
If server for CM10th and CM11th will be the same it should be better.

i would be 11 on the server if I can get this CD key issue resolved from my electronic download from Ubisoft.
Very frustrating!

1)make sure you have downloaded and installed the patch.
2)make sure you have mcAfee, norton,zonealarm etc. turned off (not only disabled, turned off.)
3)if the problem continues, check out the readme file for configuring your ports.

Hello Toni_2pies,
Can you tell me when the problem occurs? When you enter the online? Or when you try to connect to a game?

I'm "undecided" with my feelings re: online play. I think it works just fine but I wish that there were more players. They should really consider joining the X & XI Communities.

For those with a firewall:
Pg 31 of the manual: "Configuring The Network" states that one should open the following ports:
TCP: 668, 40000-42999
UDP: 41006, 44000, 45000, 45001, 17110

I agree with you yankee, I mean this really rocks in comparison with every single free online chess games, better than pogo.com, zone.com, yahoo, playchess.com its just that it lacks players unlike those site they have thousands of online players. playchess.com is a pay site 29 euros a year to play online but it sucks because it doesn't have 3d board, it does have a 3d but its **** and you can't choose chess sets and animated ones.

I would like to create a game that doesn't ask me what color I want to play in. for me its the same, so I would like a 'whatever' choice in the drop down.
Alsa the community is too small, it takes forever to get a game going.
