Game Overview

Chessmaster on the DS is one of those rare games that actually makes learning chess feel fun, not like homework. The tutorials break things down in a way that finally made openings and endgames click for me—no dry explanations, just clear examples and bite-sized challenges.

What surprised me was how much personality it has for a chess game. The AI opponents range from quirky to brutally clever, and there’s this satisfying “aha” moment when you start spotting traps before they spring them. The touchscreen controls work way better than I expected, too—dragging pieces feels natural, though I still occasionally fat-finger a move when playing on the bus.

If you’ve ever wanted to stop blundering your queen by move 10, this is the handheld fix for that. Just don’t expect the AI to go easy on you after the beginner lessons.
