Chessmaster: Grandmaster Edition Critic Reviews

As a one-stop shop for an entire chess-playing and learning family, this package should last until you're all grand masters.

A really great chess game. The presentation values are excellent, and it has a wonderful training mode which includes fully-voiced tutorials from Josh Waitzkin.

Chessmaster: Grandmaster Edition maintains the franchise’s unassailable position as the king of chess sims.

The only thing missing from this experience was an actual video of eight-year-old Josh crying at the end of the game. I would have paid a lot of money to see that.

Even though most gameplay and options tend to be predictably consistent, The Art of Learning is a great tool for skill building and is put together in a simple easy to use package with something to offer everyone.
