Chessmaster 8000

Traditional Game from Mindscape

Installment in this successful series of chess games. As with the previous games it is designed for both beginners and masters of the game. The game incorporates a new chess engine that promises to provide stiff AI competition. It also incorporates a large database of games. Josh Waitzkin hosts the game (he was the subject of 'Searching for Bobby Fischer). The game offers a strong 'classroom' mode that helps players develop their game and includes various timed challenges. You can play against another person via hotseating, modem/serial connection, LAN or on-line. The game's graphics and interface are effective.
