The Chessmaster
About the Game
The Chessmaster is a game where players have the chance to play against the CPU controlled Chessmaster at a standard game of chess. To play the game, players must pick up the chess pieces with their hand cursor and place it in the desired location, within the rules of a standard chess game.
Gameplay & Core Systems
There are 16 different difficulty levels, including 2 beginner levels, 13 standard levels (ranging from an average of 5 seconds to 4.5 minutes per shot depending on level), and an infinite level that will keep thinking of a shot until a perfect shot can be made or it is forced to make a move. There is also a teaching mode that shows players all the possible moves with the selected piece. Two players can play against each other with two controllers and there is also an option for letting the Chessmaster play against itself.
Modes & Ways to Play
Player support includes 1-2 Players.
