I read all the review and weighed the good and the bad, and bought the game new at a video store. The good thing about the game is that you really do learn to play chess. From the main menu you click on "tutorial" and then you are directed through screen after screen which explains each chess piece in detail, teaching you the legal moves for each piece.
