 Rating:  - Not for the serious chess player, with a caveat.Unlike other reviewers here, I would say I'm a serious chess player. This game fell far short of my expectations. As someone who played PalmChess on a PalmPilot III a few years back, I know that it doesn't take a lot of memory or horsepower to beat me. In story mode, you play in "untimed" mode, where you can think as long as you'd like. Few of the players take more than 4 seconds to make a move. Until you get to Garry, everyone has the same flaw: blunders. Okay, you play the beginners, ... Read More Rating:  - Great for kids . . .I agree with the reviewers who say that this game is good for beginners. It has a few good features, such as fun (but short) tutorials, autosave which stores the board position after each move, and has a story mode where you get to play opponents from all over the world. However, I do have a few complaints. First, it has several minor programming glitches. For example, as you move from continent to continent it does not always display the graphics of how many trophies you have won on the current continent, ... Read More Rating:  - A Rookies opinionClean graphics, with a wide choice of chessboards. A few are difficult to see under average light, but most are fine, and there is a bright, clear black and white board if all else fails. A GREAT feature is that it auto-saves your game at the exact point you left it at. You don't have to back out and find the save screen. Just shut it off, and come back later. No passwords. I don't know what that reviewer was talking about. I can't offer an opinion as to how the game play stacks up against a ... Read More Rating: - Amazing!This game is AMAZING! I am a novice chess player who has been trying to improve my chess. Ive been reading some books "Complete Idiots guide to Chess", "Reasses your Chess", "The Amatuers mind". And this game is really helping my game. The story mode is cool with 31 different personalites. And they play like different people as well. Some are cautious and play the game running and countering. Others come out blasting like Yosimate Sam. The guy who said there is passwords is mistaken. There are three save ... Read More Rating: - Great for KidsThis is great for kids. I have played tournament chess and used some of the best commercial software. I went through another round of purchases and trials for this time. There is some powerful software available, but I needed something that young kids could learn with. I looked at PDA software as well, but that did not fit the bill either (one with the "legal-moves" is a good fall-back option). The GBA module works very well. It is easy enough for beginners. It shows the moves. It encourages them to compete against ... Read More |
