For some of us it is a rush to race through the streets and display rowdy tactics in the virtual world while we engage in our deeply exhilarating gameplay on the PSP, but for others, a quiet game of chess might just be as exciting. For all the chess lovers out there, PSP won’t disappoint you with the Chess master: The Art of Learning. A game that has been made for chess lovers to sit and engage in a battle of wits with the computer. It has been published and developed by Ubisoft

Metacritic.com has this to say:

“Josh Waitzkin’s much-anticipated book The Art of Learning (Free Press) is designed to pave the road to successful long-term growth on and off the chessboard. The eight-time National Chess Champion and two-time martial arts World Champion puts users in his shoes in some of the most riveting and formative moments of his chess career, including the legendary climactic game from the book and film searching for Bobby Fischer. Waitzkin then turns to the classics, introducing beginners to brilliant games from some of the most important players in the history of chess. In his most revealing commentary ever, Waitzkin not only teaches the beginning chess player the fundamentals of the game, but also humanizes the road to mastery”

The game boasts a lot of modes for the avid chess player and has ways to track your profiles with statistics that help you ascertain where you stand or how much you accomplished. The game is pricy – for a game like this, you would have expected a price range close to 15-20 $ — and it still makes us wonder why. Although the chess lovers might silently push it onto their shopping carts, the others might not even take a second look at it.
