I just picked this up over the weekend. I haven't purchased a chess game for the PC in ages. All of my expectations were passed with this game. I would highly recommend it. Some of the features that really stood out for me are:
1. Analyze your game - This will analyze each move from both sides and tell you were you went wrong and show you better moves along with telling you what the computer was up to and strategies to avoid things in the future.
2. The Academy - Tons of hands on puzzles and lessons to learn about every aspect of the game. Quizzes and tests. Not easy tests either. the give you a setup and tell you to figure out mate in 2 moves or ask you to use a rook and a king to mate the other king without a stalemate.
3. The squares light up with different info so you can play with features turned on such as where all the safe squares are or what squares a particular piece can travel on.
4. Annotations of everything almost. It basically talks your through stuff as if someone was sitting there talking to you.
5. Of course you can play online and get a ranking. You can play against the computer with ranks as well.
6. Nice graphics especially with 6xaa/16xaf. Fun animations.
7. A huge list (maybe 100-200) games that have been played already. You can walk through these games and it give you play by play in some of them. I must have spent two hours last night just going through these games.
there is so9 much to this I was blown away. I highly recommend it.
