Chess newbies will probably be happy with The Chessmaster’s default difficulty for quite awhile, but as they improve as players they will want more of a challenge.
The more you play, the less you will rely on help as you get to know the game a bit better, and you may find yourself ignoring the suggested move in favour of something else. If you find yourself completely stumped when it’s your turn to move, pressing start brings up the data screen, which in addition to a list of moves so far and captured pieces also suggests a move for you to try. It’s probably not a good idea to exercise this option when playing a human opponent, but the Chessmaster is happy for you to improve. If you think you went wrong even earlier in the game you can keep rewinding the action, all the way to the beginning if necessary. If you make a move that you realise is a mistake as it has led to a capture (or will do shortly) you can undo it by tapping the B button. Having gotten used to the basics, you may find you still lack the ability to win a game, but help is available. Underpromotion is also possible, using the A and B buttons to cycle through the different pieces. Get a pawn (those are the knobbly ones) to the other side of the board, and you can promote it to a queen by tapping select. Controls are straightforward: the d-pad moves a hand which you use to manoeuvre your pieces, using the A button to pick up and place them.
