Game Description
When it comes to winning at the game of chess, eight-time National Chess Champion and International Master Josh Waitzkin literally wrote the book. His work The Art of Learning is packed with tutorials and courses designed to pass along his techniques, and that knowledge serves as the basis for Chessmaster. Start with the fundamentals, then master higher-level play as Josh walks you through the tensest moments from his championship career, explaining his approach. But the learning doesn't stop there: you'll be able to access 900 definitive chess games to see the moves made by other masters, then test your skills in single-player, multiplayer, and a variety of chess-inspired mini-games.
