Various chess sets, a plethora of opponents with various levels AND styles, as well as a huge database of classic games makes this a no-brainer (for those with brains!)!

A huge improvement on the regular old game boy chessmaster, its a shame it's so hard to find, but a good find for those who get their hands on it.
