Customer Reviews

This is the Real McCoy!
I have already reviewed the cheaper version of this product
on Amazon.

This version is identical to the one you would get from Chessbase. It would include a "Playchess.Com" subscription and for that reason is so much better. Just be sure to buy a brand new one in its original wrap.

Have another look at Shredder 11 too. These 2 programs would fit each other like a glove. Honestly!
