CP Software has always produced the best Spectrum chess programs. The latest version of the marvellous Superchess programs continues this trend. Not only does this program playa powerful game, but it offers a wide range of features.

For microdrive owners, one of the most attractive is the ability to save the program on microdrive, directly through a menu option. You can also ask the computer for advice on a move, or force it to play your move for you. If you believe you are being too badly slaughtered, then you can handicap your opponent by forcing the computer to move without thinking more about it. You can even change player positions, leaving it to sort out your mess, while you play from it's strong position!

The screen display is rather plain and unimaginative, but there is so much going for this program that such a slight blemish can easily be over-looked.
