About Grandmaster Chess
For centuries, the game of chess has been used to test the tactical prowess of its players, presenting an equal playing field where victory is decided not through brute strength, but cunning strategy. Whether you’re a beginner or a veteran, this fully featured chess game from Capstone Software has all the tools and features you need to learn and master the game of chess.
Grandmaster Chess pits you against an opponent – powered by the innovative Zarkov A.I. which learns from its mistakes – with five adjustable skill levels from beginner to grandmaster. Build your strategic arsenal between matches by reviewing the Opening Moves Library, which contains hundreds of classical starting positions, or practice against the CPU with the analysis tool enabled to scope out the best move for any scenario. The Grandmaster awaits a worthy challenger...are you up to the task?
- New to chess? No problem! The Teaching Mode will guide you through the basics of Chess and introduce you to more complex strategies. Use Chess Play Ratings to monitor your progress and determine your chess rating.
- Customize the look of the game – in 2D or 3D – to match your mood with eight board surfaces such as marble, glass, and wood, or try out seven different sets of pieces, including monsters, robots, and abstract.
- Let go of your conscious self and act on instinct in the challenging blindfold mode.
- Practice against the computer or go head-to-head against your friend in local competitive two-player mode.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Got it on sale for $2 USD because it's Steam Deck verified and I have fond memories of chess club in middle school (even though I was never the best at it) so I thought it might be fun to tote around physically since I like a couple of Capstone's other games. But that said, I don't recommend this shovelware gutter trash, even at that price. Presentationally, it's dated as f*ck compared to modern alternatives. When the best part is the title screen, you're an abject failure. No music, no nothing except this irritating droning sound that sometimes happens as the computer is making its move. "Erm, having music would break the player's concentration," stfu. Then Capstone could've included a mute option. They'd already included a bajillion piece sets and board options, which is cute, but it's about the only praise I can levy this game's way. Continuing, the "3D mode" (which is just an isometric view, wahoo?) disables the ability to see the computer's calculations as it precisely figures out how to annihilate you irregardless of if you get advice from the game or are just winging it, playing with no input. They advertise this game as having a teaching mode on the storefront, but for th…4 found this helpful

Amazing chess game. What more do you need? How is it that only this chess game (that I know of) has a pure D&D style piece set? Actually, there's TWO such sets here. There's BEHOLDERS! Dragons, centaurs, fairies trolls, barbarians, elven warriors, clerics... it's all there. 2D and 3D board options, plus you can customise the board itself. It has levels of mastery I'll probably never get to (filthy chess casual and all that), and is charmingly simple with its timeless pixel graphics. So, for me, it's wonderful - the best chess game ever made. 10/10. All the chess you'll ever need.1 found this helpful
