Chessmaster Grandmaster Mods

Likewise, Alphamars, YOU MADE MY DAY by giving me an opportunity to CREATE SOMETHING from NOTHING. That is ART.

Any other custom CM chess piece/board design requests? I am taking requests. 

nota a particular request but would like to see more 2D options as with the 3D its hard to see, perhaps blue looking board and design.

Durian_Defense  ,thanks for the lessons. They were not in vain. Here's how I managed to insert the figures on another board -

And I also changed the sides of the board a little in your work -

Hallelujah! Praise the Lord! I managed to 'replicate' myself. I am happy as a clam. Now there are at least 2 of us who know how to do this thingie. Youtube to the rescue! Awesome, simply......POG and awesome.

OMG I love you all so much, just noticed I have been in safe mode when trying to find out stuff about Chessmaster X, (for years but that's me being silly ) I have some of the old stuff already as part of Chessmaster X and was wondering how to get it more modern, how relevant this topic is - fantastic already downloading stockfish 15 to put in and craftily download some of your hard work. I Have loved this program since the 90's Chessmaster on the commodore 64 and still play and lose against all the time. I must have more than a million games in the database downloaded from various sources and still I am a poor player @) but love it . Once again Thank you all for your hard work esp the OP

Hi @dolahsing

Haha. Your joy is infectious! Thank you for your kind words. Yes, after all these years, CM still holds a special place in our chess-geek hearts. Being able to mod and to throw in a modern engine is simple wonderful beyond words.

Cheers
