    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.

    Daft idea, but the basic game does all you'd wish for. [Apr 2005, p.113]
