You can find it online here, for $29.95:

http://www.chessmate.com/software.html

And I found a couple of copies of it for sale on half.com. Make sure you do
a search for it there as all one word - "Chessmates", otherwise you won't
turn up any matches.

My son used this game to polish his skills after his dad had already taught
him the fundamentals. He has really enjoyed it over the years and even now
occasionally refers back to it for fun.
