Still, the opponents that are included should provide sufficient challenge. That feature is unfortunately missing from Chessmaster. It even let you set up a custom opponent by selecting values for a number of skills.

At least Kasparov told you a bit about the players. One opponent may be described as a "reckless attacker" while another is "pawn centric." Some of the opponents are described merely in terms of skill level: "aspirant," or "powerful." As in Kasparov, there are no FIDE or mathematical rankings of the players. The 18 opponents available in the game are summed up in short, simple descriptions. Still Chessmaster's unlimited board setup options mean you can create just any game situation you like. Though somewhat odd for the genre, Kasparov's campaign mode offered a better sense of progression and achievement than the one-off games set up in Chessmaster. The lack of extra save slots mean you'll also be restricted to playing one game at a time on the system. Sadly there's only one slot for recording games so you'll lose all the successive moves if you change one earlier in the game. This allows you to rewind the game as much as you like and try out different moves at key points of the game. If you like you can even scroll forward and backward through the history of the game using the R and L buttons. It doesn't list all moves and you can't scroll up to read prior moves, but it does drive home the point of the moves nicely.
CHESS MASTER GAME FULL
A full system of notation accompanies and records the play to the right of the board. The hand itself smoothly slides into each square, meaning you'll never find yourself caught between the boundaries of two squares while moving. Pieces are picked up with a hand and placed down as in the other game, but you can also cancel a move altogether, thereby avoiding the frustration of putting a piece back in the wrong place. Apart from the faithfulness of the franchise, the actual mechanics of gameplay are rendered better here as well.
CHESS MASTER GAME LICENSE
The Chessmaster license has a much higher presence here than Kasparov did in his own game for one thing. The biggest advantage Chessmaster has over Virtual Kasparov is in its presentation and interface.
