Martin Korda thinks that Medieval: Total War is the pinnacle of strategy games on the PC, but he seems to be forgetting the granddaddy, the ultimate strategy fest, and the game that takes minutes to learn and several hundred lifetimes to master - kids today, don't know they're born.

This is the definitive PC version and the Chessmaster series has been around since Korda was in shorts, but with Al that was going to challenge all but the elite in the game in place years ago, the only new features in are cosmetic, and even these are few and far between. Unforgivably, it still has the same archaic interface that makes getting into a game or selecting a board that's actually useable the equivalent of pitting your wits against a grandmaster.

I suppose that when you're capable of thinking moves ahead, juggling an infinite amount of moves in your head and struggling with deeply paranoid thoughts about communists and whether your opponent's playing footsie with you under the table, coding a few buttons and a front-end of the game that are intuitive to human beings is a bizarre concept.

There's a very obvious pattern being followed and if you pick up on it, you can make "correct" moves without knowing why. While the order in which pieces are introduced is just about perfect Rook through King, with the Pawn last , some of the "correct" moves are not in fact correct.

For example, in the King tutorial, you have to move your King out of check. The correct answer involves moving your King into a checkmate position with a Pawn, clearly an illegal move.

However, since you have not gone through the Pawn tutorial move yet, you're given the idea that it was a safe move. If you pay attention, you'll catch this, but if you're brand new to the game, it can be confusing.

Finally, many of the tutorials involve clicking on all the possible squares that a particular piece can move to. Once you click on the squares, you're supposed to hit the "Done" button. Right beneath this button, though, there's a "Next" button, similar to a browser. Since all the tutorials involve clicking "Next" to go to the next step, you may accidentally hit this instead of "Done," just out of habit. Instead of correcting you, the tutorial just moves on and you don't know if you answered properly or not.

There's a "Back" button for this scenario, but then you have to repeat the answer again and make sure to click "Done" to find out if your move was correct. It seems like a simple oversight. Regardless of these niggling problems, the game introduces much more than basic piece movement and proper board layout. Once the basics are done, you're taught Castling, En Passant, Pins, Forks, defense, opening moves, specific piece strategies, and so on.

Much of the information is provided by Josh Waitzkin, Bruce Pandolfini, and other chess notables. Chessmaster - a logic game, a chess simulator, where the player can improve his skills by playing with stronger opponents.

The front row consists of pawns, the weakest "warriors", capable of making a move only one step forward or two if an opponent is in front of them.
