Chessmaster: Grandmaster Edition

Chessmaster XI/GME is a really great chess game. The presentation values are excellent, and it has a wonderful training mode which includes fully-voiced tutorials from Josh Waitzkin. If you want a title that will help you improve your game, this is a fine choice. Its only shortcoming is that it’s pretty much an incremental improvement over Chessmaster 10, so it may not be a great value for owners of the previous version. For everyone else, this makes for a great (re-)introduction to the Chessmaster series, especially for new and mid-level players hoping to refine their skills.
