Don't buy this... its like a webpage on a CD. It's not even an instruction manual. Very disappointing. Visit all the free Go sites out there and start with the excellent American Go Association website. This will lead you to information and free Go programs on the Internet.

Best chess trainer available!
There is a lot of info about all of the Fritz versions and other chess engines on amazon... so I will not add to that debate. I will suggest how to get the most out of this chess program if you are trying to improve your chess game: Play (slow) games against other people at a chess club or PlayChess.com.

Excellent Instruction
The last reviewer wrote the dumbest thing. There're info about medical issues online everywhere. Then why do people go to the doctors? Of course everything in every chess book or DVD can be obtained elsewhere. But the point of having a GM explaining in details is what people pay for. This is the same reason why people pay to take chess lessons with GMs. There're are millions of chess players who ...

Comprehensive? Yes.
Comprehensive Chess Endings is a bit closer to an "endgame database" than an actual endgame trainer. Unlike most of the Convekta training programs, the software interface is Chess Assistant Light. It comes with a set of 4,000+ training positions and almost 3,000 actual games with interesting/complex endings. For each training position you have to determine if it's won or drawn, then perform ...

The third part of the endgame series tackles Queen endings, Rook against minor pieces, Queen against Rook and Queen against two Rooks. Queen endings are not nearly as mysterious as they appear at first sight. Knowing a few rules of thumb and principles will make things a lot easier for you. In the case of Rook versus Knight or Bishop, you should not only know how to draw a pawnless endgame, but also when a fortress can be set up and when not. ...

A chess library on disk
This is an amazing CD. ChessCentral has digitized several classic chess works and offered them in electronic form for a fraction of the price you'd pay for the print editions. Two of the books are still "must reads" for every chessplayer and are cornerstones of every good chess library: Capablanca's "Fundamentals" and Lasker's "Manual". This CD package is more than "highly recommended"; it's ...
