This is a chess game of healthy pedigree, using the Perfect Chess engine previously seen in Ubisoft’s Chessmaster. Not only that, but the price is right.
The adventure mode is engrossing and fun to play even for those who don't like chess, because it plays more like a good turn-based strategy.
While I still prefer the social nature of face-to-face matches, the small mistakes and oversights the engine makes give you the sense that you're really playing a personality and not a program.
If you ever fancied a dabble but were put off with what seemed like complicated rules give Majestic Chess a chance, its brilliant story mode will teach you the rules at a pace that’s right for you.
An admirable chess experience, with enough lessons to keep you occupied for ages. [Nov 2003, p.134]
While it ultimately fails to be an easily accessible, helpful tool to teach the true novice how to play chess well, Majestic Chess is a well-made product that provides good competition for amateur players who aren't too serious about their game. [Dec 2003, p.142]
