I have recently bought Chessmaster: Grandmaster edition so I can play against the computer and go through the tutorials. I know that some of my friends analyze their OTB or online games (or any not against the Chessmaster computer) through other versions of Chessmaster, ex. Chessmaster 9000. Is there a way I can do this with Chessmaster: GM edition? I havent seen anything that would let me. Thanks!

If you go to the move list in your completed games (don't analyse running games :) ) and click Get PGN you can download a file containing all the moves. You should then be able to load it into Chessmaster and analyse it somehow (I find Fritz is much easier to handle though, with its built-in ChessBase integration).

Go to set up position and have chessmaster play against itself. That should work.

Chessmaster: Grandmaster Edition does this beautifully.

1) Go to your game and click on Get PGN. Save the file to your computer.

2) Open Chessmaster and click on Play | Training Mode. Click File | Load and select your file. Now Chessmaster is showing your game.

3) Click on Mentor | Game Analysis... wait for it to finish analyzing. :)
