The Chessmaster — About this game
The Chessmaster turns a pocket chessboard into an opponent and a study desk. Play the computer, share a board with a friend or set up a position to examine a forced mate. Teaching mode reveals legal moves, while takeback, replay and the data screen let you review an idea before trying it again. Difficulty and thinking settings make the same board useful for a short lesson or a demanding match.
