The Chessmaster

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL GAME

The Chessmaster invites you to sit across from a legendary CPU opponent in a fully interactive digital chessboard. Simply grab each piece with your hand cursor and place it in its new position, following classic chess rules. Whether you’re a solo player itching for a strategic face-off or you’ve got a friend on another controller, this title delivers an authentic gameplay experience. For a bit of extra fun, you can even watch the Chessmaster duke it out against itself, pure chess entertainment, no two matches ever the same.
Tailor your challenge with 16 distinct difficulty settings: start with two beginner levels to learn the ropes, advance through 13 standard levels (from lightning-fast five-second responses to deep four-and-a-half-minute calculations), or dive into the infinite level where the AI thinks until it finds a flawless move. And if you need a helping hand, the built-in teaching mode highlights every legal move for the selected piece, turning every game into a masterclass. Whether you’re a complete novice or a seasoned grandmaster wannabe, The Chessmaster sharpens your mind and keeps you coming back for more.
