I bought this for my 12 year old son and he loves it. He takes it to his chess meets to play in between games. Being able to play this game gives Mom and Dad a break from playing every night.
A great way to learn and practice chess on ds3.
This game has been a wonderful tool to learn chess. Now I plan on getting a regular chess came to teach my grandchildren how to play.
Chessmaster is the ideal programme for Nintendo. Comprehensive and versatile. The portability and screen clarity make it ideal for use anywhere without the need of a PC. I would recomend it to any chess player.
Bought this for my 9 year old when he started to develop an interest in chess but needed to learn the basics. The mini games really helped and so did the tutorials. After about a week with this game, he was able to start winning chess games against some opponents–which he was really excited about since he had lost every game before doing this tutorial!
My 6-year old and 7-year old love this game and the fact that they can play chess with each other using only one game card. They are novice chess players, but with this game they can really expand their skills.
Great!
I gave it five because for the platform you use it on it’s great and I’m having fun. I don’t think for the price you can go wrong. Not exactly a lot of different chess games out there for handhelds to compare it to.Not perfect but fun.
This, like its PC Game counterpart, is a great chessgame (at least as far as games available for Nintendo DS and the PC go). However, and unfortunately, because it is actually sold by Target and not retrolio, it is not available for retrolio Prime benefits like free shipping. I have noticed that more and more items are being sold thru retrolio by third parties. This makes retrolio less useful and the Prime account virtually useless! So, I ordered this game for under $16.00 (including free shipping) elsewhere on the Internet (google it!) instead of the $24.00 (including shipping) it would have cost me on retrolio. My online shopping experience, especially as Christmas approaches, has now become much more complicated thanks to retrolio’s deterioration into relying on third parties. I cancelled my Prime account since there is really no benefit anymore to having one. Bummer…
Got this for my husband, an avowed chess geek for Christmas, hoping it would keep him interested for a week or two. He’s still playing it in February, and he is really good at chess. Yay for Chess Master.

When I want to play a quick game of Chess, I grab my DS rather than my Dell PDA that has chess software (with many more features available). Why? The interface is easy to use, the display is bright and clear, and if I am interrupted just closing the lid QUICKLY pauses the game. As a member of the US Chess Federation, its chess ability is a limiting factor but the built-in rating system is FUN as you play pseudo-humans complete with their photos.The mini-games are helpful exercises in recognizing patterns (a big key to improving your chess). Recognizing forks, pins, and simple checkmates are the basis for a sound understanding of chess.Not so good – no separate time settings to handicap players, the game startup sequence is poorly impremented, there is no way to save a completed game to analyze later (better save it just before the checkmate!), and its of no use if you want to play another human without their having a DS with ChessMaster.But I certainly have fun with it!!

Chess for PCs is easy enough to find, but it’s not so easy finding chess for handhelds. Chessmaster for the Nintendo DS is a useful training ground for chess players. Lots of drills and exercises. It plays a good tactical game, and can be played with 2 players on 2 DS units. The DS can be taken to school or work, and you can even play while riding the bus. Very handy!

I have 7 and 8 year olds, and our boys love this game! I’ve always thought DS offers no education, but this one is different. If you have a basic chess skill this is one you should get. My boys like this one as much as they like new super mario bros. Get it if you can. Check your local Gamestop preowned section. I purchased it at Gamestop at 14.99 (preowned) Highly recommended.

I’ve been looking forward to a decent chess game for the DS since I picked it up last year, so I picked this game up on its release day.The chess game on clubhouse games, even on “hard” is very weak. I can beat it without even paying attention, and I’m no where’s near an expert level player.Anyway, without boring everyone to tears, here’s the PRO and CON list:PRO* You can have four profiles. Great to have for the kids.* It has a very strong, and in my opinion, realistic engine.* You can set up positions for playing against the computer.* Save game is very useful if others are using the game.* Can play someone else on a single card (see below for gripe though)* Movement is so much nicer with a stylus, but the Direction pad is also an option. You can either drag a piece to its destination, or you can touch the destination. You also have a choice to confirm your move to avoid “mouse slips”.* The mini games, like “Fork the Fruit”, are actually very good drills.* Nicely themed chess puzzles too.CONS* False advertising. “Players have access to 900 of the most important chess games, which are analyzed to provide key tactics”, uh no, there are NO games. This and other features mentioned on the chessmaster site, are not here. They must be for the PC version.* No online play. Are you kidding me?!* No ability to set it for two human players on one DS. This seems like a “way too obvious” feature. I’m truly baffled as to why it’s not on here.* You can only set up.

A good way to learn chess, but the A.I. keeps beating me.
