I didn't realise that there was a time limit on Chess Mentor before i am asked for a subscription payment. I know very little, if anything comes free, but i didn't see it advertised anywhere that there was a time limit

I clicked on Chess Mentor, then "Start lessons" and a message came up saying i had no credit left, below this was the "buy now" box showing costs and time length of the course.

Indeed, there must have been another system than 10 demo lessons just last week.I  think I must have tried 15-20 lessons before it stopped.

Given as the problems range from 800's to  2200's (appx.), I do not think it is specifically geared toward players with little experience.

Yes, there are some lessons which are very complex examples that enlightened me as an 1800 USCF rated player.

I find Chess Mentor extremely challenging and im in my 1750s. My success rate with the lessons as a whole is about 66% which is terrible I know but granted I just started playing about an hour ago so I havent really learned anything yet. And thats the exciting thing! Because I do have so much I can learn from Chess Mentor. If I can get to 1750+ with no losses "knock on wood" after 8 games. I might be able to get to Expert or better with 80-99% proficiency after a month. Looking forward to gaining rating points!

Is the Chess Mentor software (specifically, Chess Mentor 3 Delux) compatible with Vista 64?

chess mentor----  I woiuld join in a second if it were not for the time limt.

It seems to me that if this is a mentor program and it is teaching or trying to .

Therefor, it takes TIME to think and analyse,    If one is penalized for attempting to utilize the actual intent of this program.  It feels like the American Educational System.  This would be the best in the chess world if not for that one flaw.
