If all you want is to play a respectable game of chess at club level with a rating of 1700 or 1800, then this ChessMaster CD for PlayStations 1,2,and 3 is an excellent inexpensive investment.Why use a sledge hammer to kill a fly? It would be a waste of money for anyone not playing chess professionally to buy a Fritz 10 DVD with a 2800 rating, which requires: (minimum requirements) Pentium 300 MHz, 64 MB RAM, Windows Vista or XP (SP2), DVD ROM drive, Windows Media Player9, all for at least $1000. With Playstation CD you can get a Playstation 2 at Radioshack for $125 or Playstation 3 at Best Buys for $400 (finally).
I have been a chess player for over 15 years and I just recently started back a few years ago with a 2 year break in between, when I purcahsed the chessmaster 3D game I was thrilled and delighted to have it. At first I questioned my self if to buy or not due to the lack of time that I have, but I question myself again saying that if I don't buy it now then when would I get it. I thank ebay for becoming the middle man for me to even purchase an old classic game, especially when playstation one games are not even in stores, so once again thanks for your support!!!
Hope I can use the 2 Dimensional "War-Room" to play this turkey because the "3-D" board is a bad joke..doesn't allow rotation or tilt..were these people just out to turn a fast buck??
If you like chess this is a great game to play with some good graphics and some challenges .
Verified purchase: No
Always enjoyed a chance to play with a better player, I mean how much better than the game itself ? I'll spend less time thinking about it and playing it as it is a wonderful tool and game for a Chess lover.
