Hooperxxx.We just say final episode. And yeah, i too loved Little Britain, but i thought they dragged some characters on abit to long. Like the Andy and Lou sketches with the wheelchair. It was same gag, different location. Prefered The Office myself. The American versions brilliant by the way.
I was a chessmaster fan ever since the early early days of Chessmaster 2000, went and bought all the versions until chessmaster 10th edition. I would have liked to buy chessmaster Grandmaster edition but it wasnt really that available in computer stores. I bought my Chessmaster including 10th edition original, not fake nor copied. I own Fritz and Shredder too. Chessmaster was nice and fun for a patzer like me, for all the eye candy. But Fritz friend mode, and Shredder at an appropriate elo setting are better to play with. But th eye candy of Chessmaster and the videos can't be beat, and all the fun Boards. Chessmaster is so much fun. My kids loved the fantasy chess boards too in 10th edition. I miss Chessmaster. I wish they could make a new edition like 12th edition. I think it would sell well. What about it ubisoft?
Does UbiSoft even exist today?

Ubisoft does still exist, but it looks like they're not interested.
RIP Chessmaster.
I still have Chessmaster 10th loaded on my Windows 7 machine, but I don't use it very often these days.

One of the big limitations of Chessmaster was the fact that you could only import Winboard engines into the Chessmaster GUI. However, if you're willing to do extra work, it IS possible to import UCI engines like Shredder or HIARCS into Chessmaster. (You have to import a separate copy of the UCI engine for each elo level of the engine.) In Post #79 of the link below, I laid out the procedure for importing UCI engines into Chessmaster. (It should work for Chessmaster 10th and 11, and maybe CM 9000.)
