    I wouldn't suggest this edition to anyone who likes to play a complete game of chess. It often locks up when the human is winning no matter what the level of opponent selected. It has caused lots of frustration for both my son and I.

    No boss button, no more 3D, takes too long to close, cant play music CD while you play chess, no more halloween peices, too hard to adjust contrast/brightness of peices, always defaults to chessmaster oppponent (annoying).

    The only thing missing from this experience was an actual video of eight-year-old Josh crying at the end of the game. I would have paid a lot of money to see that.

    A really great chess game. The presentation values are excellent, and it has a wonderful training mode which includes fully-voiced tutorials from Josh Waitzkin.

    As a one-stop shop for an entire chess-playing and learning family, this package should last until you're all grand masters. [Apr 2008, p.64]
