Reviews for Chess Tutor (#920)

Review by p13z on 29 Aug 2011 (Rating: 3)

An early version of chess for the spectrum. The graphics look quite plain, and the ability of the computer player is somewhat limited, as is only to be expected in a game for the 16k machine.
Good points about the game are the relatively speedy decision time of the computer opponent, and the 'no nonsense' - straight to the game approach. It also has a, slightly tedious, run through of the rules of chess, which you can select from the main menu. This, combined with the option of letting the computer help with moves during a game, give credence to the 'tutor' suffix in the game's title.
Good for the time in 1983, and good for a 16k game, but much better chess games were to follow.
