Chessmaster 8000 is a universal chess program designed for both beginners and more advanced players. The game is based on a new engin which significantly increases the level of artificial intelligence of the computer. For the first time, the chess program uses Natural Language Advice, which provides simple hints in easily understandable English.

As usual in the Chessmaster series, the chessboard differs visually from the usual two-colour board, although the option for traditionalists allows such a choice. However, most of the games can be played on a variety of chessboards, both two- and three-dimensional. We also have the ability to choose the environment in which we will break our heads when competing with a computer or other chess player in multiplayer mode.

  • Implemented tutorial introducing beginners to the basics of the game.
  • Expanded part of the game designed for children.
  • Hint system designed for less experienced players.
  • A rich library of played games and several thousand openings with their basic analysis.
