MINDSCAPE CHECKMATES KASPAROV
REPORTED BY Corey Brotherson

Mindscape has created a new portable chess game approved by the legendary chess
master, Garry Kasparov.


Kasparov Chessmate is a PC-based game which allows you to transfer your matches
in progress to Palm and Pocket PCs with all settings intact. The title uses the
chess engine Ruffian, which is one of the most powerful engines created for the
genre, and allows you to play against one of 45 computer opponents, with each
player designed to reflect a human learning curve. There is also a multiplayer
and online mode.

And if that wasn't enough to get your pawns in a flurry, there's also career and
story modes, the latter allowing you to play as a member of the Kasparov Chess
Club, testing your skills against other club members until you earn the right to
play against Garry Kasparov himself.

Kasparov Chessmate is set for release this June.
