A poor game with poor AI.

User Rating: 5 | Chessmaster: The Art of Learning PSP

A poor game for the franchise. The hardest, or "smartest" level can be defeated even by a beginner in chess. A shooter may have poor AI, but in a chess game the AI makes the difference between crap and cool. This game can be categorized as crap. There are a lot of mini games that teach you how to move the pieces... with a lot of levels. Mabye the name of the game shouldn't be Chessmaster, but instead - puzzle master. Also, with the puzzles, you have a rating system wich tells you how focused you are, how much memory do you have and things like that. It's the classic games that make you smarter fault. You can't play multiplayer on the same psp, like playing chess on the same chess table, just by network, wich is also broken beacuse even at 2 meters distance between 2 PSPs there's no signal. Instead of buying it, it's better to buy a real chess table, more fun, cheaper, and nicer.
