The mastery quiz "Honing Your Skills" page 53 of 82 is a monster knight quiz. The following solution is correct, but the game will not accept it.
E2, F4, G6, H4, F3, G2, E4, D6, C4, B2, D3, E5, C6, A7, B5, D4. The game should accept all possible correct solutions. I searched the forums and found mention of alternate solutions for this puzzle, but I did not find mention of it in this bug reporting forum... hence my post. The game is great... cheers. |

Some useful options:
- A shortcut button to switch to training mode immediately after playing a rated game. It's too much hassle right now (at least 10 clicks vs perhaps 1). Also, reverse the order in which rated games are displayed, since users will almost always want to review their later games, not earlier games. Should be a simple List.Insert(0, pgnItem) instead of a List.Append(pgnItem) or something. - I'd like my player statistics to only reflect rated games. The 'offline opponents' list f.i, also includes training games. Why?! Just keep separate records. And as mentioned earlier, create an 'export player' menu item which creates a simple XML thingy. |

It already exists (bottom left corner). And to load the game, you just have to click "copy from - ranked play".  |

1. MAKE CHESSMASTER 12 MULTIPLAYER COMPATIBLE WITH CHESSMASTER 11!!
2. Focus on functionality rather than appearance. In CM9000, you could be in a game within 5 seconds of starting the program. In CM11, the buttons aren't even labeled. Perhaps a "Retro" skin with a GUI like CM9000. (Other suggestions retracted. Thanks KHollister) 3. As another user suggested, it would be nice if you could match any chess set with any board. A low priority. But really, no one plays with the 3d pieces. It would be cool to put flat pieces on a 3d board, like in CM9000. Or put the House of Staunton pieces on a something more interesting than plain wood. This message has been edited. Last edited by: triplesick, |

Hopefully Online Play in future versions will be backwards compatible with Chessmaster Grandmaster Edition. However, there will be no more updates for Chessmaster 10th Edition. Some comments about your functionality concerns: 1. Labels for the buttons appear when you hover over them. 2. You don't use "Set up Position" within Training Mode... you continue your training game there after setting up the board. 3. You can go directly from Training Mode or Ranked Play to the various Learning areas... you have to use the Navigation Bar buttons (see page 8 of the user manual). Click the Up arrow on the bottom left hand corner of the screen (above the Main menu icon), until you see icons for various options for the "Learn" area (Academy, Famous Games, Database, Openings). Naturally, if you're in the middle of a rated game, you will be asked if you'd like to adjourn the game. |

Greatly appreciated, KHollister! I never noticed the little arrow before. I fully intend to click on it on a future occasion.
 To some degree, however, I stick to my request. At least there should be a "Retro" skin or something that makes the GUI look like old school Chessmaster, with everything labeled and out in the open. |

I would like to ask that a future version allow me an option wherein I could ask that the personality pause the game after they have made a move.
This should ideally be togglable whilst still playing a game. This would allow me to allocate large amounts of time to the computer in order that it come up with it's best move and be able to walk away whilst it does this and be able to come back without having lost all my own time and hence the game. Thanks for your consideration. This message has been edited. Last edited by: KHollister, |

I've noticed a bug in Josh Waitzkin academy (Waitzkin vs. Eric Budish, page 53). Budish (white) played King e5 while black had his king at f6.

In the Waitzkin academy
--The Art of Learning ---Breaking Stallions ----2-Tal vs Koblencs -----page 29/100 After you move the king to B1, Waitzkin responds saying, "The best move is king B1. Fantastic and now all this stuff is hanging and Black has a real problem. You see he can't play bishop takes F4 because of what? Exactly, queen H8 checkmate". The problem with this analysis is that if white Qh2 - Qh8, Black's Ke7 not only evades the 'checkmate', but also threatens white's queen on h8. This is not checkmate, I am not sure why Waitzkin said it was. -Bob (aka Kuahara) |

I noticed that a few pages down the line when I was told to find the best move again in this chess game that if I made the wrong move, he would say, "this is not the best move. try again", then 2 of black's pieces would disappear, and I would click try again and return to the game. The only way to fix this was to click the replay button, where he would say, "ok. take another chance, what is the best move"...at which point the missing pieces reappeared on the board.

I have also encountered the bugs in the tutorials mentioned above; pieces switching positions between pages of the tutorial, and pieces disappearing, which makes for confusion.
I have also encountered the bug mention with the drills not functioning properly. After making a move the drill hangs, and gives a waiting or loading message. I would like to see these fixed. I have also encountered a bug in Set Up Position when set to have Chessmaster play the opposing side, sometimes the clock doesn't count, and the computer will not move, even if Force Move is chosen. It can be worked around by taking back the move and then replaying the move, but it's still annoying, if the player doesn't notice that the clock isn't ticking. |

I have a question about the display openings function of the chess coach.
Is it possible to let chess coach suggest openings from any chosen opening book. For examle from the book anand.obk If its not possible I want to request it for future versions off chessmaster. Also, now if the option two click moves and quick entry is enabled in board settings. And there is more then one peace that can move to that square. I first have to click the start square and then the destination square. Its more intuitive to first click the destination square and then the start square, (like it's possible with chessbase).

I'm having a great time with this game. The only thing that bugs me is how theking.exe remains running even after I exit the game. It takes up 50% of my cpu cycles so I have to terminate the process manually everytime.
I was wondering why it continues to run even after I exit? It can't be that hard to patch, right? |
||||
|
Ack,nevermind. It only happened to me that one time. I wonder why?
