How it plays
How does Chessmaster (E)(Lightforce) play?

Plan your run
What is the best way to play Chessmaster (E)(Lightforce)?
Start with a difficulty that allows you to review the position, develop pieces before attacking, and use the hint or lesson material to understand a mistake instead of immediately restarting. In link play, agree on the time and move order before beginning.
