Chess Mentor is not for everyone. If you only want to play chess, there are other chess software products for you. However, If you enjoy engaging your mind interactively with analytic and critical thinking and welcome immediate instructional feedback even on your mistakes, Chess Mentor may be the best way for you to learn and improve your chess. To be absolutely sure, we suggest that you do not order Chess Mentor until you download and use the free Chess Mentor Demo. This Demo has all the functions, bells and whistles of the Chess Mentor products, but contains a limited database of instructional examples for beginners, intermediate and advanced players.
