Subject: demo version of Majestic Chess?
Hi,


I am asking from curiosity.

This link used to be for its demo version.
But, I cannot find it there these days.

http://www.majesticchess.com/assets/downloads/MajesticChessDemo.exe

Any ideas?

dajava,

No surprise at all. In gaming (and computer chess) terms, Majestic
Chess is pretty old, being released almost three years ago. Vivendi was
the publisher and they stopped selling it after not much more than six
months, and stopped supporting it after only a little more than one
year.

You won't find any current mention of it on the Vivendi, Sierra or
Hoyle websites or message forums any more. In a nutshell, it's a dead
program.

Oh, Thanks a lot!

It is odd the homepage www.majesticchess.com had been down for two
months
and got available again without the demo version.
