Can anyone tell me if it is worth me playing with chessmaster 10 online now? are there alot of players? is the server and ratings ok?

if it is ok, then i need help getting online, when i try and create a new user it just gives me an error and says unable to create user. I don't have mcafee or anything. is this common?
does online play still work?

Yes, Online Play for Chessmaster 10th Edition still works. You don't need to create a new login; just use the same login you're using for the forum.

If you still have connection problems, then you probably need to install the patches... you can find them in the Chessmaster 10th Edition Downloads. I'd also recommend that you read the Chessmaster 10th Edition FAQ as well.

yes, there are plenty of players on 10, I have both 10 and Grandmaster and I prefer 10.
