5 out of 5 stars Great game   January 6, 2009
I got this for my 8 year old daughter. She is a beginner at chess, and she loves this game. She was able to figure it out all by herself, and has found it very helpful and also fun. I thought I would have to "assign" her playing time for the practice, but she chooses it on her own.


1 out of 5 stars Nothing like the PC version   December 29, 2008

It's a very basic game, if you already are a chess player you will be desapointed


5 out of 5 stars Lots of fun, not for serious training   September 19, 2008
Like its other versions chessmaster is known for its personalities and adaptive game styles, in the psp version this is no different so right from the start you know what you're getting.
In the psp it does bring something new, the mini games which are supposed to improve your level of play, however the approach I feel is not the right one, I was able to beat all the mini games to their max level within 24 hours and I didnt find the difficulty levels to be enough to actually improve one's game.
To my liking it misses the opening training or endgame training, yet if you want a way to play wireless with your friends this is a good game.

The most difficult level could be considered as a 2000 elo rating player or around that




3 out of 5 stars Good but inconsistent   September 18, 2008
The chess games are fun. If you need a chess game for your PSP, this is probably the best one out there. The lack of on-line play is sad though. The player "personalities" are very inconsistent. Some of the 900 players are tougher than the 1200s.
