This game can run on Windows 10. There was a gog release in the past which has been taken down. So you can run the gog release as abandonware now.

It's now march 2024, i managed to install it on an old pc running windows10. no problems, but when i started playing i realized... why am I here all by myself when I can go online and play with a community of life players. Yep. closed the program and probably wont open it again. oh well.

I have installed it in Windows 8.1 and Windows 7. It works beautifully.
But I want to make the contents into a DVD for giving to my students (I am running a Chess School). Can someone guide me how to do that?

Install Windows XP in a virtual machine (VMWare, VirtualBox either one. Both are free). Then start up Windows XP and install Chessmaster 9000.

For some reason, I don't understand, the disk 2 download keeps getting BLOCKED. The PATCH, when clicked, does nothing, and the same for the FIX. Whats up? I'm running win 10 what do you think? I've had this game & love it, but couldn't use it on Win 10. I didn't have the patch or the fix so I just tossed it. BIG MISTAKE!!!
Got any ideas? thanks, you're doing good work with this site!

All this huffing about difficulty installing.
ISO's are not difficult to manage for most all.
I would have written an installer (.exe) for the ISO's, as I can.
Perhaps I will, if by popular demand.

Have this working on Win11 64 pro, you can try the following:
1) Get WinCDEmu and install it (https://wincdemu.sysprogs.org/download/)
1b) Forget about WinCDEmu for now.
2) Download all Chessmaster files to a local folder (I.e. C:\Chessmaster_9000\)
3) unzip CD1 and CD2 files to new folders (I.e. C:\Chessmaster_9000\Chessmaster_9000_CD1), same with the patchfile (1 file was not zipped as download I believe)
4) Delete the dowloaded zips, you dont need them anymore.
5) Open the folder CD1 , double-click the BIN file and use WinCDEmu to mount it to V: (or any other virtual drive letter).
6) Same for CD2, mount that one to W:
7) you now have 2 fake-cd-rom drives, you can open V: using explorer and search for Setup.exe , run it
8) When asked for CD2, refer to W:
9) after installing, do not run the game yet (just close it if you did, no biggy) de-mount V: and W: (eject them, should be on top of explorer), go to your installation folder of the installed game and copy-paste the earlier (downloaded and unzipped) patch-file in there, then run the patch.
10) Since the game was made for Windows 1958 , the program may act a tad goofy on first run; Try running from newly created destop icon (not sure but I think I mounted CD1 one more time) - I did NOT use the Chessmaster-fix-by-beha_r at all if I remeber correctly. Maybe rebooting your system is also a good idea.
11) After all that, I can run the program straight from a desktop-icon now (without mounting any CD's or whatever), works fine.

Can use poweriso to extract the files from bin/cue. Not necessary to change the file extension. Works on Windows 10. Didnt run patch or fix.

NEO 2023-02-10 1 point

It's an image file of a disk, you need a virtual disk like daemon tools or WinCDEmu. You should be able to just mount it on newer Windows versions, try changing the file extension from bin to iso, then right click on the file and mount.
You could also use an emulator like pcem to play old games youtu.be/mWEE2RJj3YI

Chess master 9000 like all pc software is impossible to install, it was on the old computers and if it were possible to be more impossible , it is now.
