The AI made headlines around the Chess Universe when it defeated Gary Kasparov ( at the time the undefeated world chess champion). You can activate a bunch of useful features such as the chess clock, move grid, opening book and thinking information. It also includes a huge library of information written about chess openings , endings etc.. You also have the ability to take back moves. This will be useful when playing at blitz difficulty. The Game also has an easier setting for the new players.

A little different from my other articles this one is a chess program for kids. Don’t think it’s a chess engine for tournaments or anything. Even a very bad player won’t improve from this. This is strictly for kids. If you have kids you should really consider this. It will teach them how the board is used, how each piece moves, how to do simple checks. They have  two pieces on the board and they have to get the cheese. The pieces they have change so they will learn every piece’s moving pattern. It has neat songs and cartoony art style to keep the kids interested.
