Customer Reviews of Virtual Kasparov
A Rookies opinion Clean graphics, with a wide choice of chessboards. A few are difficult to see under average light, but most are fine, and there is a bright, clear black and white board if all else fails. A GREAT feature is that it auto-saves your game at the exact point you left it at. You don't have to back out and find the save screen. Just shut it off, and come back later. No passwords. I don't know what that reviewer was talking about.
I can't offer an opinion as to how the game play stacks up against a good player. I can tell you that although I learned the moves 35 years ago, I've never put any real time into chess. Any other computer or hand-held chess game completely decimated me within moments. Too frustrating to be any fun. I decided to give this a shot, and I'm glad I did.
In "story" mode, the first few "street" players weren't too bad, I actually got through them to take on the master (the master is killing me though) The up shot is that it is enjoyable for me for the first time ever. Although the players have personalities, and playing styles, their moves aren't "canned," They play differently every time.
If you choose "quick game" mode, you can take moves back, replay them, or have the computer choose your move. You can also set up the board for any scenario you like, and jump back and forth between sides if you want.
There are two ways to play another human. You can pass the game boy back and forth, or use a cable. I have not tested the cable. The instructions claim you DO NOT need a second game cartridge.
I don't know how this stacks up to chess master, or other chess games. I can tell you that I consider it money well spent.
Amazing!
This game is AMAZING! I am a novice chess player who has been trying to improve my chess. Ive been reading some books "Complete Idiots guide to Chess", "Reasses your Chess", "The Amatuers mind". And this game is really helping my game. The story mode is cool with 31 different personalites. And they play like different people as well. Some are cautious and play the game running and countering. Others come out blasting like Yosimate Sam. The guy who said there is passwords is mistaken. There are three save slots and the game is saved after every move which means you can play in the doctors office without worrying that you have to finish every game in one go. I have never been happier with a game and have played 6 hr settings regularly. I love this game!
Great for Kids
This is great for kids. I have played tournament chess and used some of the best commercial software. I went through another round of purchases and trials for this time. There is some powerful software available, but I needed something that young kids could learn with. I looked at PDA software as well, but that did not fit the bill either (one with the "legal-moves" is a good fall-back option). The GBA module works very well. It is easy enough for beginners. It shows the moves. It encourages them to compete against opponents with an increasing degree of difficulty. It is compact and inexpensive. A great buy.
