- Install Chessmaster.Change your OS language to English (under Control PanelLanguage and TimeAdvanced).

- Color quality on your video card is set too high. Go to the Display Settins in your Control Panel, and change the color quality from Highest 24 bit to Medium 16 bit.
Q: What music is played during the introduction movie?
A: 'Pieces en Concert for Cello & Strings - 2. Sicilienne' by Francois Couperin.
Q: Whose voices are used in Chessmaster?
A: The voice used for Chessmaster (annotation, analysis, and moves) belongs to Denny Delk. The voice for illegal move commentary is Jeanne Reynolds. Their voices have been featured in Chessmaster for several years... since Chessmaster 6000.
Q: Game.exe always uses 100% CPU, even when I'm just at the Main Menu. Is this normal?
A: While it does seem excessive, it is normal. If the program causes your computer to freeze frequently, this isn't the reason, but you can find the solution in the next question.
Q: Why does TheKing.exe keep running after I close the program?
A: Nobody knows.... Seriously, there's no known solution to this problem it's unlikely that there ever will be. You'll have to close the process manually if it's eating up too much processor power.
Q: My computer is very slow and/or freezes when playing a game. How do I fix this?
A: Try the following suggestions:
- Make sure you run as few programs as possible while playing Chessmaster. The more background programs you have loaded in Windows, the less processing power your system will have to make moves within the game.
- Use as few child windows as possible. Some of the windows that open within the game can take up a decent amount of CPU time due to either their visual updates or because they might cause a mentor engine instance to be launched.
- Do not activate the blunder alert feature in the Training Mode. This feature will also launch a mentor engine instance to watch your game.
- Do not switch to other game modes, or access other game features or dialogs while running a game, and try to avoid adjusting game settings in the middle of the game.
- Some of these features/dialogs will actually restart any chess engines that may be associated with the current game, causing that memory that these engines has allocated to be destroyed.
- In the 'Piece Movement' tab of the Sound dialog, select 'No Sounds.' This will prevent the program from taking up a significant portion of time queuing up and playing piece movement sounds.
- Change the priority of the engine.
- Go to the Preferences menu and select 'Engine'. From there you can adjust the resources of the Chess Engine and Blunder Alert Threshold, as well as set the priority of the Chess Engine and Blunder Alert.
- If that still doesn't work, try the following:
- After starting Chessmaster Grandmaster Edition, right-click on the Windows taskbar and click 'Task Manager'. Go to the Processes tab, and right-click on 'game.exe'.Click on 'Set Priority'Click on 'High'.
If you don't want to bother with the Task Manager, you can use the Run command (from the Start Menu) and type the following:C:WINDOWSSystem32cmd.exe /c start 'runhigh' /high 'C:Program FilesUbisoftChessmaster Grandmaster Editiongame.exe'NOTE: If you start Chessmaster this way, it will not check for updates.
Q: I'm having problems running Chessmaster Grandmaster Edition on a multi-core processor. How can I correct this?
A: Chessmaster was tested on dual-core processors only; not multi-core processors. You can limit the number of processors used by modifying the ini file. Go to C:Program FilesUbisoftChessmaster Grandmaster EditionDataUsersYourNameYourName.ini, and set threads_count=2. If that doesn't work, go into the Task Manager and set the Affinity for Game.exe and TheKing350.exe to 0.
Q: How do I disable the introduction movie?
A: You have to edit the cm.ini file. It resides in the following location:Windows XP: C:Program FilesUbisoftChessmaster Grandmaster EditionWindows Vista: C:UsersYourNameAppDataLocalVirtualStoreProgr am FilesUbisoftChessmaster Grandmaster EditionThere is a line that reads 'IntroMovie=1'.

Q: I found other errors in the tutorials.
A: Good for you! We don't need to hear about it, though.
IV. PERSONALITIES / RATINGS
Q: How accurate are the ratings for the personalities?
A: The ratings are mathematically precise, but they are mostly based on computer vs. computer games. While the human vs. computer games added much more 'real-world' accuracy to the ratings, many of the Chessmaster personalities have quirks in their playing styles that a human will be able to exploit but a computer opponent will not be able to 'see'. Discovering and then taking advantage of these weaknesses is part of the fun of Chessmaster, but you might find yourself able to defeat certain personalities that you don't think you should be able to based on their ratings.
Q: Does CPU speed have any effect on Personality ratings?
A: Yes; the rating for most of the personalities will change depending on CPU speed. Also, because the CPU speed calculation is performed every time Chessmaster is started, the same personality can have different ratings between sessions.
Q: Are personalities stronger in Ranked Play versus Training Mode?
A: No.
Q: How does Chessmaster calculate my rating?
A: Please refer to this chart:
