    The details are staggering - if you want any possible path into the world of chess, this is your definitive portal.

    The best chess game currently available on the PC. But the improvements over previous versions are incremental rather than revolutionary.

    Having Josh walk you through his thought process was amazing for a player like myself. That was truly enriching.

    I consider myself at least a competent player, but even on the lower difficulty levels I felt overmatched. [Dec 2002, p.130]
