4.0 out of 5 stars A Great Chess Companion, May 8, 2002

This review is from: Chessmaster 6000 (CD-ROM)

Designed for the chess lover in need of a challenge! Chessmaster 6000 provides hours of pleasure. Although it is ideal for intermediate to veteran players, beginners can learn to play with the wealth of tutorials. The best bet is to have someone teach you the very basics, then use CM6000 to hone your skills.

CM6000 provides "personalities" (complete with photos and bios!) of various skill, ability, and style for hours of challenge. Of course, the masters, like Fischer and Spassky, as well as the Chessmaster himself, are present and accounted for.

As with other incarnations of CM, the chessboards (ranging from traditional to contemporary and beyond) are beautifully rendered.

Overall, Chessmaster 6000 is very well worth it to any Mac gamer in search of a good game of chess, or just wanting to learn more about the game.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not Much of an Improvement, December 21, 2001

This game is not for the serious chess enthusiast. If you enjoy a challenging match, you may be better off playing a three-year old than purchasing this game. If you already have another version of this game, like 2000, stick with it!
