I first gave this software a bad rating due to problems with my screen display. It would not show anything but a blank black screen. If you have this problem, you need to change your screen resolution to something that is higher than 800 x 600. I went to 1024 x 768. It will work then. Good luck.
 Best Chess Game I've ever played May 13, 2007

The adventure mode in this game teachers even a non-player the basics and in a new and exciting way that will keep people addicted. After finishing a few levels one is well above an amatuer player and the game is really FUN! It's hard to say that about chess unless one is really into it, and playing computers at chess is not great. This also has online playing and the levels get progressively harder. I highly reccomend this for $10 to anyone who wants a challenge that keeps you coming back for more.
 Excellent Game! July 12, 2006

This game is a terrific vehicle for teaching chess strategy to kids--ok, maybe adults too. My [...] and I play together and have a great time. The adventure game really holds his attention. The only drawback to the game is that the "save" command is buried in "options." This means it is very easy to exit without saving your game. Still, I recommend it highly.

I did not know it wouldn't work off an intel graphics controller on my Dell 800 MhZ computer. It needs specific graphics controllers. It seems like it is launching then disappears. I feel I am stuck with this now. Being a technology person for the past 25 years, I believed this would be no problem to run. I was wrong.

After reading good reviews, I purchased this cd. What I expected was great, clean, and quality fun product. But this has just fancy background and graphics,and takes 100% cpu usage on my computer (windows xp) and we both computer engieers and chess lovers and our son 6yr old are dissappointed with the purchase.
