Summary
Mindscape has teamed up with the world's best known chess master Garry Kasparov to produce Kasparov Chessmate, a PC-based chess program that you can play anywhere, anytime. With Kasparov Chessmate, you can transfer matches in progress to Palm and Pocket PC's with all settings intact.
Designed to be as accessible for the chess novice as it is for the veteran player, Kasparov Chessmate uses the Ruffian chess engine which, with an estimated rating of 2600, is one of the most powerful engines that can still offer a realistic challenge to players of all levels. You can play against one of 45 computer opponents, with each player designed to reflect a human learning curve, or you can play in multiplayer mode against other human players.
Track your progress in Kasparov Chessmate in storyline mode, in which you play as a member of the Kasparov Chess Club, testing your skills against other club members to win three different club championships, until you earn the right to play against Garry Kasparov himself.
Help is never far away in Kasparov Chessmate with in-game information about past and available moves readily available and a separate analysis board. This enables players to plan their play without disturbing the main board. Features such as custom time controls, and international ratings for games and opponents are also included.
