Super fun, Awesome Game
If you like building contraptions then this game is for you. I am a mechanical engineer and I love playing this game. Some levels take more critical thinking and problem solving, but that's what makes the game challenging and fun. You'll love this game!

Chessmaster 10th Edition JC

4 reviews

Windows | Encore, 2008

Not completely compatible with Vista
The real question for most chess players looking for some chess software is whether to buy Chessmaster or Fritz (or Fritz's Shredder). I have used both for many years. I actually go back to the days of Chessmaster 2100, which had the playing strength of perhaps a subclass F player, if such a player existed. For the average player the conventional wisdom has always been that Chessmaster is ...

Fritz Chess

6 reviews

Windows | Viva Media, 2007

Very good and cheap chess software
This is a cheaper but full version of the Fritz X software. I have used it with Vista on a laptop. There were no bugs, the chess software, the database and the training programs runs without any problems. You can also use this software to store and analyze your games. However, the chess engine is very strong for beginners. If you have used Fritz before, this program has significantly ...

Majestic Chess (Jewel Case)

Windows | Value Software, 2005

Best Chess Game I've ever played
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 ...

Chessmaster 9000 (Mac)

15 reviews

Macintosh, Mac OS X | Feral Interactive, 2004

Works great with Intel Macs
Chessmaster 9000 (Mac) is a great game. It provides excellent interactive tutorials for beginning chess players, many different piece styles, and playing options. It also is very playable on the new Intel Macs even though it is running in Rosetta. The only issues I have noticed is the video on the splash screen at startup is a bit choppy. I upgraded my version to 1.02 from Apple's (Feral's ...

The Art of Learning
I've only played one game against this computer software; computer opponents don't really interest me. Of course it's capable of beating most players, but it also has some colorful "personalities" to choose from: who have inherent weaknesses so you can win sometimes. I am giving the full five stars due entirely to the tutorials by Josh Waitzkin that are included. These are worth much more than ...

Windows | Ubisoft, 2002

Super Learning Tool
Chessmaster9000 begins with the basics. It teaches proper moves of each piece. My 7-year old grandson is learning from this CD. However, it can challenge many avid players. It really covers all the bases of Chess.

Lego Chess

Windows | Lego

a great game that will provide fun for children and adults.
This game turned me into a chess player in just two weeks of playing every once in a while. This game may discourage people who think that chess is too hard to learn or people who think chess is for freaks. This game is good for people who don't know a bishop from a knight because of the game's built in tutor who teaches you all you need to know and some techniques I never expected him to cover. ...

Don't ever UNINSTALL this game
My son really enjoyed playing this game. Unfortunately, as games get bigger and bigger, we ran out of space on the hard drive. In order to make room to install a new game (Heroes is BIG), we went through the uninstall routine. Knowing this wouldn't be a permanent solution, I then added another hard drive. Naturally he wanted Heroes back on the PC, but it won't install. I've checked the hard ...

It will run on XP!
I have loved this game for years!!! I was so disappointed when I got my new PC that ran Windows XP. I couldn't figure out how to get it to run Chessmates. But if there's a will there's a way! Here's what worked for me. I went into the cd folder and found the INST16.exe file. I left clicked on it and selected properties. Then, I clicked on the compatibility tab. I checked the following boxes: ...

More on Dinosaur Chess
I have more to say about this great program. I tried out 3 childrens/beginners chess programs on my 5-year old daughter: 1. Maurice Ashley Teaches Chess 2. Fritz and Chesster 1 & 2 3. Dinosaur Chess The first 2 programs were written for older children and were too difficult for my daughter to grasp. Maurice Ashley Teaches Chess is for beginners ages pre-teen to adult (10+). It's an ...

Windows | Ubisoft, 2005

I relied on Amazon
This is the only Chessmaster game I have owned.I did not buy the latest version based on Amazon reviews. The bottom line is I like it. My chess ability being what it is, I will never even come close to beating it. I recomend it.

Mozaki Blocks Deluxe

Windows | Mumbo Jumbo, 2007

Adictive fun
Two things I love about this game. I can play it while watching TV or when my partner is talking my ear off. It isn't the kind of game that demands your attention since you aren't racing against time. I love the sounds. When you make larger blocks hearing the sounds are half the fun. I love to see how large of a block I can create. I'm sure I could find other things that I like about the ...

It can be customized to give any level player a good game. Afterward, you can set Fritz on maximum strength and have it analyze the game. It will even create little puzzles for you to solve as it analyzes! This feature is particularly good for ...
