- Chess Mentor 1.4 Demo
- ---------------------
-
- Chess Mentor (R), developed by Aficionado, Inc., enables all levels of
- chess players to rapidly improve their chess skills in an efficient,
- effective, and pleasurable manner.
-
- Chess Mentor is not another chess engine. Rather, it is a revolutionary
- and highly interactive software product which combines the power of the
- modern computer with expert content developed by Chess Masters. The result
- is an amazingly effective learning method, akin to actually training with a
- Master.
-
- Users of Chess Mentor learn through active participation and discovery with
- materials authored by Masters including IM Jeremy Silman, IM John Grefe, IM
- Eric Tangborn, IM Marc Leski, FM Craig Mar, and FM Mike Arne; soon GM
- Jonathan Tisdall and other IMs and GMs.
-
-
- Instructions for downloading and installing the Chess Mentor 1.4 Demo:
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- 1. Download the file CMDEMO14.ZIP into a temporary directory on your PC
- and, using PKUNZIP or a similar utility, extract the contents of the
- file into the same directory.
-
- 2. The two files SETUP.EXE and SETUP.W02 constitute a self-installing
- executable which installs the Chess Mentor Demo, an Uninstaller, and
- some text files. The third file in CMDEMO14.ZIP is a copy of this text
- file.
-
- 3. Use the Windows Program Manager File-Run command to run:
-
- <download dir>\SETUP.EXE
-
- depending on the directory used for the download. Note that double
- clicking on SETUP.EXE in the File Manager can also be used to initiate
- the installation.
-
- 4. The installation program will prompt you for a destination directory
- name for the Chess Mentor files. The default directory is C:\CM_DEMO,
- but another name and/or drive letter may be specified if desired.
-
- 5. Follow the remaining instructions which will be displayed on the screen
- to complete the installation.
-
- 6. The private Chess Mentor files will be copied to the specified
- destination directory, the common system files will be copied to the
- \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory, and an INI file will be created in the
- \WINDOWS directory. A program group named "Chess Mentor 1.4" will be
- created, and a number of program items will be placed in it, including
- an Uninstaller utility. A full report of the installation can be found
- in the file INSTALL.LOG in the Chess Mentor demo directory.
-
- 7. Unless SHARE must be installed, the Chess Mentor installation does NOT
- modify any of your system files, including AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS,
- SYSTEM.INI or WIN.INI. If SHARE must be installed, either a device
- driver is added to SYSTEM.INI if Windows is in Enhanced mode, or a call
- to SHARE.EXE is added to AUTOEXEC.BAT if Windows is in Standard mode.
-
- 8. If, at the end of the installation, a message is displayed indicating
- that you should restart Windows, or reboot your PC, please perform the
- requested action. Either SHARE was installed, or one or more system
- files were in use during the installation, and the restart or reboot
- action is required to fully complete the installation of the Chess
- Mentor Demo.
-
- 9. To start the Chess Mentor Demo, double click on the "Chess Mentor 1.4
- Demo" icon in the Chess Mentor 1.4 Program Group.
-
- 10. If you have any trouble with the downloading or installation of the
- Chess Mentor demo, please do not hesitate to contact Aficionado for
- assistance.
-
- 11. NOTE: The two files, SETUP.EXE and SETUP.W02, will each fit on a
- 1.44Mb diskette for easy distribution to others after the download. To
- install the Demo, insert the first diskette (containing SETUP.EXE) and
- run SETUP.EXE. The installer will ask for the second diskette (with
- SETUP.W02) when it is needed; otherwise the installation will proceed
- as described above.
