 Rating:  - ChessMaster ChallengeChessMaster Challenge is easy to use, easy to learn, and entertaining. It allows you to set up your settings to your taste and style. It allows you to choose any level you want (novice to grandmaster) to challenge it. It is highly recommended for anybody in the Chess world. Rating: - An incredible amount of Chess fun and learning for under $20The reviewer right below has stated it very well, so I won't bore anyone with too many details. This version of Chessmaster contains a true library of things to learn from various Masters of the game and is targeted at the Novice & Intermediate. The tutorials are done in a way that you don't have to be a strong Chess player to follow along. The puzzles, drills and game analysis are excellent ways to better understand the strategy & tactics behind winning Chess. My young daughter is finally wanting ...

There are actually three "academy" programs, all of which begin at the most basic ... Read More Rating: - I like it. Works on Windows Vista 64-bitBought this in August 2008. Works fine on Windows Vista 64-bit. I've taken up an interest in chess lately. Aside from knowing both how the pieces move and that everyone on Yahoo Games can beat me, I didn't have any clue how to play the game. Slowly but surely this is changing. The lessons are extraordinarily helpful and they do not throw too many concepts at me at once. I sure can't speak for advanced players, but for beginners, this software is wonderful. For $20 (and less for used), it is an excellent ... Read More |
