My uncle's birthday is comming and he's a chess geek and recently got a decent laptop for work. So I want to get him a chess game, I remember something about chessmaster or something from a couple of years ago, but I really don't know. Can anyone help?
As a matter of fact I swallowed one of these about two hours ago and the explanation is that it is, in fact, my hand.
I hate the whole Chessmaster series. It's not a very 'smart' engine. It looks pretty but playing against the engine is like playing a grandmaster who's shit-face drunk.

If anyone ever wants to play on Yahoo, my tag is Harvardmc. I'm not that great (fluctuate from 1350 to 1550, whatever that means in their numerology) but am always up for a game. PM me if anyone wants too sometime.

Could you elaborate on how this Yahoo chess thing works? I've been looking for a good online variant because i need to get all my rust off, but so far i've had no luck.

Go to yahoo.com, click on "Games" in the left column, and create a yahoo account if you don't have one. After that just enter one of the server halls.
The competition probably isn't as good as ICC, which is GOOD for me cause I tried that for awhile and mostly got blown out. Yahoo games usually end when one side or the other forgets that a piece is under fire and pointlessly loses a rook But its good to , as you say, get the rust out.

My dad plays on gameknot and seems to be happy with what he gets.
