How do I play a chess game against Chess Mentor? |
| You CANNOT play a game against Chess Mentor. Chess
Mentor is a completely different concept in computer chess
programs. If you were taking lessons from a Grandmaster, playing games
against him would undoubtedly yield constant defeat, but unfortunately,
very minimal instruction. To create a more productive learning
experience, the Grandmaster would give you chess positions, or
Challenges, to look at, to study, and to SOLVE. As you tried to solve
these Challenges the Grandmaster would normally give you hints to help
you and feedback on your moves, just as Chess Mentor
does. |

If I can't play a game, then what is Chess Mentor all
about? |
| Chess Mentor skillfully guides you through a maze
of specific chess Challenges, or "situations." As you grapple
with these chess Challenges, Chess Mentor provides a
variety of exploratory tools to help you gain insight, and to find
precise solutions to the Challenges. All your moves, both good and bad,
receive critical comments to accelerate your learning. Chess
Mentor tracks your progress and automatically provides review as
you need it. |
