Following the many earlier popular releases in the
Chessmaster series, this tenth edition boasts an even greater emphasis on helping gamers to become better
chess players. The game's new version of the "King" chess engine is designed to be accommodating enough to teach an absolute beginner and yet powerful enough to defeat grandmaster. Presentation has been upgraded as well, with animated pieces, a variety of board styles, and a selection of appropriate background music. The game's "Academy" mode features the return of International Master
Josh Waitzkin, who offers general guidance and advice, as well as
Larry Christiansen, with lessons on offensive strategy. Online options allow players to find suitable human opponents on the Internet, establish rankings, and set up their own tournaments.
