Oct-11-11  I play the Fred: More about CM3000

1) Does anyone know of a site where one can acquire older versions of CM? I'd love to mess with 3000 again.

2) The following game is surely incredibly unsound, but it is my best win against CM3000.

Apr-29-18  zanzibar: All these years later, and one can still find an online page for it...

Not all the links work, but given that the last ship date was 2007(*), it's still fairly functional.

Dec-14-19  Wanda Nida: ATTENTION:

I need programmer for doc, C + lingos so i can revert code for chessmaster 2000 which is abandonware and nobody so far claimed any copyrights; it will be required to disassemble complied binary code into original code; only 2 files are of importance: cm.exe n cm.dat but dat has info where info on pieces movements exists and it sends instructions to exe; will be paid accordingly! This is for good cause of chess & chess players everywhere and for eternity, to promote The Lubek Castle!

Feb-13-21  Tadeusz Nida: chessmaster 2000 has bugs & it's ignorant programmers david kittinger suck; also suck: co-developer Walt Bilofsky and Michael E. Duffy!!!

Chessmaster 2000 has a bug when played on modern computers. The kings jump all over the board and the program freezes. Even though Chessmaster 2000 advertised it can be played with mouse feature, no such feature exists. When program plays itself it does not realize when pawn is approaching promotion how to promote it, pawn remains on the flank unpromoted and it stays there!

Mar-11-21  Tadeusz Nida: for sake of chess improvement, programmer of chessmaster 2000 david kittinger is immediately to contact us:
