#NINTENDO DS FRITZ CHESS REVIEW SERIES#

These games are meant to be a casual, learning experience and as such, allow players to receive hints, take back moves and have available positions displayed each time a piece is selected. In Quick Game, players can jump right into a game without having to navigate through any options or settings. There's a ridiculous amount of available modes here. This may appeal to younger players but watching Waitzkin make the same 'ba-ba-ba' movements with his mouth seems a little less dignified than non-animated portraits might have been. The crude attempt at lip synching is a little unsettling, like watching the animatronic presidents at Disneyland.

Presumably the PC and console editions of this game had video of Waitzkin, because there's an attempt to fake FMV here by having still images of Waitzkin stutter through frames as instructional text scrolls by. The game is narrated and instructed by Waitzkin, who appears on the top screen while players navigate and perform moves on the bottom screen. Not only can one play against a tough AI opponent, Chessmaster allows the player to simulate specific famous opponents.

This is the eleventh generation of Chessmaster, and new features in this edition include minigames, an update of the famous chess engine, and excerpts and tips from the book 'The Art of Learning,' by still relatively-young chess master Josh Waitzkin, subject of the book and film 'Searching for Bobby Fischer.' The big returning feature is the personality system, which emulates the strategies and sensibilities of past chess grandmasters such as Alexander Alekhine, Mikhail Botvinnik, and the aforementioned Bobby Fischer through the game's AI. Developer/publisher Ubisoft has brought Chessmaster and its wealth of strategy and AI to the Nintendo DS in a package that should thrill diehard chess lovers and could even draw in casual gamers.
