"Looking for Insider Cheat Codes for Chessmaster? "
1) HOW TO PLAY CHESS
Alright, if you don't know how to play Chess, I am surprised you bought thisgame.
But, if you really don't know how to play, I'll give you the basics,even though there's a tutorial in the game.
* The Object *
To Checkmate the King. To do this, you must get the King in aposition where it cannot move out of Check, it cannot be defended by another piece, or the piece that is threatening it cannot be taken. This is allexplained a little bit later under 'Check' and 'Checkmate'
* The Board *
An 8x8, 64-square board. Same as used in Checkers. Dark squareshould always be in left-bottom corner when starting.
* The Setup *
Light pieces from left to right:
-Rook-Knight-Bishop-King-Queen-Bishop-Knight-Rook
Dark pieces from left right:
-Rook-Knight-Bishop-Queen-King-Bishop-Knight-Rook
**The Queen is always on her color (dark queen on dark square, light queen on light square)
Just remember Rook-Knight-Bishop is always on the left. Then King/Queen (inwhatever order they need to be in) and then it's just the opposite for the last three squares. Bishop-Knight-Rook.
* The Movements *
Here are the movements of the pieces.
**Pawns -Can move one or two spaces on the first move. After that, can only move one space. Can only move straight up. Cannot move backwards! Can only take pieces one space, diagonal to it. Once Pawns make it to the otherside of the board, it can change into any piece it wants except for a Kingor Pawn.
**Most often changed into a Queen. You can have many Queens at a time!
**Knights -Moves in three-square L's. ONLY piece that can skip over pieces.
**Bishops -Moves diagonal. If the Bishop starts on a black square, it canmove ONLY on back squares, and vice versa.
**Rooks -Moves straight across, up, or down.
More Chessmaster Tips:
**Queen -Moves any direction. Needless to say: The Queen is VALUABLE!
**King -Moves one space any direction. Cannot move into Check!
* The Ratings *
All pieces (except King) have a value rating. This tells you what pieces you will want to sacrifice for. Higher the rating, higher the value.Hint: Sacrifice ANY piece for a Queen. Unless you don't want to sacrificeyour Queen.
* Castling *
Castling is a special move where you can move the King and a Rook inone move. You can only do this if the King and Rook have not been moved, andyou cannot do this if the King is in Check.
All pieces must be clearedfrom in between the King and the Rook. What you do is move the King twospaces towards a Rook, and then move that Rook on the opposite side of theKing.
* En Passant *
More Chessmaster Tips:
This is a special and unusual capture with the Pawn. It can beused only ONCE per game! What happens is this: A Pawn is in its startingposition. There is an enemy pawn two squares in front of it, in the columnadjacent to it.
The starting Pawn can move two squares to be aligned withthe Pawn. Now, the enemy Pawn can actually capture the Pawn just like anyother capture! But remember: ONLY ONE TIME!
* Check *
Check is where the King is in a position where it can be taken the next move. The King has to get out of check by moving, having a piece take the threatening piece, or by blocking the King with another piece. The Kingcannot move into Check.
* Checkmate *
When the King is in Check, but cannot get out of it. If you getthe King in Checkmate, YOU WIN!
* Stalemate *
I HATE Stalemates! They usually happen to me when I am overwhelming the other side and I make a stupid mistake. Stalemates are draws. They happen when the King cannot move anywhere (because it'll move into Check), but it is not in Check. If you're confused, here's an example.
See that. The King isn't in Check but it can't move! Stalemate!
Remember: If there's another piece to move it's NOT a Stalemate!
2) CHAPTER 1 : SETTINGS / MENTOR
2.1 - Settings
When you're playing a game of Chess, you have the chance to change the settingsby pressing L1. In Quick Game you have the choice to 'Setup Game' or you canchoose 'Preferences'. When you are playing a rated game or a tournament, youcan only choose 'Preferences'.
* Setup Game * - Only in Quick Game and Setup Position
More Chessmaster Tips:
*Players: This is where you go to change your opponent. Also where you can pick to be black (by default your white).
*Time Controls: There are 6 different types of Time Controls to choose from.
- moves/min: How many moves allowed in how many minutes.
- seconds/move: How many seconds per move.
- minutes/game: How many minutes are in the whole game.
- fischer: How much time each player gets to finish the game, and how many bonus seconds they get each time they move.
- hourglass: Each player gets a certain number of seconds to move. The time he takes to move gets added to the other persons time.
- infinite: No time limit.
And you always have to choice to have each player have the same amount of time,or different times for each player. So you could have 30 second moves, whilethey have 10. Whatever you'd like.
**In a rated game, you choose the opponent and time control BEFORE the game starts.
* Preferences * - Available in all gamesMore Chessmaster Tips:
This is where you go to choose your prefences for the game.
*Choose Chess Set: Where you choose what chess you want. [See Chapter 2]
*Sounds: Adjust music volume and sounds/speech volume.
*Board Settings: Four choices you can either check or uncheck.
- Move Highlights: Highlights last move.
- Sliding Pieces: You see the pieces slide along the board instead of just showing up where you clicked.
- Quick Entry: If you click a piece or square, and there's only one move associated with it, it will automatically move it. So, if you click a pawn that's already been moved, it will just move it one square up.
- Announce Openings: A guy says what move you just did. Also announces Check.
*Notations: Choose what Notation you want the moves to be listed in. I don'tknow them so I can't describe them, I'll just list them. But, Ithink they are explained in the in-game tutorial. I'll try to getsome descriptions up soon.
- Coordinate
- Algebraic
- Long Algebraic
- Figurine AlgebraicMore Chessmaster Tips:
- Descriptive
- International
*Screen adjustment - Adjust screen.
2.2 - Mentor
While in Quick Game, you have to choice to change a few options under theMentor menu. This will, of course, help you through the game.
*Quick Hint: Select this if you need a hint of where to move. Then you canchoose to Move or Don't Move.
*Move Advice: Advises you a move...then you can play it or have the computerThink some more.
*Teaching Mode: You can choose one of these options to help you with your game.
- Legal Moves - Shows you the legal moves the selected piece make.
- Possible Captures - Shows the pieces that can be captured.
- Threatened Pieces - Shows all pieces your opponent can capture on next move.
More Chessmaster Tips:
- Pinned Pieces - Shows pieces that can't or shouldn't be moved because theyare protecting a more essential piece.
- Skewered Pieces - Highlights pieces that are protecting pieces of lesserrank.
- Isolated Pawns - Highlights Pawns that are not supported by another Pawn.
- Passed Pawns - Hightlights Pawns with no enemy pawns in the file in front ofthem or adjacent to them.
- Board Coverage - Highlights squares covered by either black or white.
*Blunder Alert: On or Off? Off by default. If you make a stupid move, amessage comes up telling you not to do it. Then you can seeWhy it was dumb, you can Take Back the piece, or justDisagree with the computer and be dumb!
*Solve For Mate: Ask it to solve for Checkmate in 5, 10, 15, or 20 moves.The larger amount of moves, the longer it takes to Analyze.Make sure you actually have a chance at getting Mate sooner orlater or else it'll Analyze forever!!! I, personally, neveruse it.
*Game Analysis: Give it an X amount of seconds to analyze each move, then it'llgo through you game move by move. After it's done, you canplay the game back and forth as many times as you want tojust to analyze yourself.

3) cHAPTER 2 : CHESS SETS

Each one affects how the pieces look (ofcourse), the colors, the background, the music and some other minor thingsyou won't really care about (like the capture board). I'll tell you the namesof all 20, and of the ones that don't resemble real pieces, I'll try todescribe what they look like.

4) CHAPTER 3 : OPPONENTS
What would chess be without opponents? It would just be you trying to beatyourself. That wouldn't be fun. Well, in this game, there are over 150opponents to choose from!
You will be sure to find somebody to play against!Trust me! The ratings range from Stanley the monkey (rating of 1) to,of course, the Chessmaster (rating of 2755). So, you should be able to findsomebody easy enough to beat, or hard enough to challenge.
More Chessmaster Tips:
Now, it could be hard finding somebody to play by choosing from amongst 150opponents. That's why they included a filter. You select from a coupledifferent options to narrow down your selection. It's like this:
Select by rating:
o 0-100
o 1001-1500
o 1501-2000
o Over 2000
Select by age:
More Chessmaster Tips:
o 6-18
o 19-24
o 25-40
o Over 40
You just select which ones you want to filter by. So, if you want to playsomebody who's between 6 and 40, with a rating somewhere between 1000-2000,just select those four circles that would let you do that.
Select by rating:
o 0-1000
@ 1001-1500
More Chessmaster Tips:
@ 1501-2000
o Over 2000
Select by age:
@ 6-18
@ 19-24
@ 25-40
o Over 40
Alright, you get the picture.
More Chessmaster Tips:
Each opponent has their own unique style. Some say 'trade away pieces' while others 'defend'. It seems like each person has a unique style. For example,the monkey, he just moves randomly!
Aside from the regular opponents, they also have some of the greatest Chess players to ever live. For example, the great Alekhine (you've heard of the Alekhine's Defense, eh?). Of course, these all fall before the Chessmaster.
Well, that's enough about opponents.
5) CHAPTER 4 : GETTING STARTED
Alright, you turn on the PS2, the game's in, it goes through a couple shortloading screens, and then you're at this menu. Now what? Should you:
Create Player?
-OR-
Add Player to List?
More Chessmaster Tips:
Well, if it's your first time playing, Create a player.
* Create a Player *
*Enter your name: Well, just enter your name!
*Enter your age: Enter your age!
*Are you a club level player with an official rating? : Yes or No?
-YES: Put in your rating.
-NO: You get three choices:
More Chessmaster Tips:
-I am completely new to Chess - They'll give you a rating of 800.
-I have played Chess before and now I want to regain form - They give
you a rating based on your age. Lowest is 800 and highest is 1400.
-I play Chess regularly but do not have an official rating - Again, based on age. Lowest is 900 and highest is 1500.
After you create your player, you should probably save it, or else it won'tbe there next time you start up Chessmaster.
* Add Player to List *
Select this if you already have a previous player saved. Just select it,select the player, and then you can play as that player.
More Chessmaster Tips:
**REMEMBER: ALWAYS save your game when you have ended a Rated game or anything else that needs to be saved! To save, just go to the main game menu, go Back to the original menu and save your player! DO NOT FORGET!
6) CHAPTER 5 : GAME MODES
Here are all the different modes in this game and an explanation of each. Ifthere is a mode that you want a complete chapter on, please tell me, and Iwill be happy to create one!
More Chessmaster Tips:
*Quick Game - This is where you go if you just want to go play a normal game ofchess. It'll set you up with everything you need, opponent included, and you can play without worrying about your rating.
Of course, before you beginplaying, there are a lot of changes you can make including choosing a differentopponent or a different chess set! This is the only mode (besides ChessBattlefield) where you can take back a move.
*Rated Game - This is where you go to start competing in the fantasy world ofChessmaster. This is where your games start being rated! You cannot take backyour moves here!
*Championships - Tournaments. That's all I have to say: tournaments.
*Chess Battlefield - The pieces come alive! You can choose either Orcs orKnights. It's just a regular chess game except when you capture there piece,you'll see your guy kill their guy!
It's awesome when the Queen swings hersword around her head a couple time then bashes the guy in the head! Thecamera angle takes a little getting used to, but after one game you'll be usedto it!
More Chessmaster Tips:
*Puzzle of the Day - An unlimited amount of puzzles. They set up thescenario and you have one move to complete it. Very fun but usually pretty hard! An example is this (this is probably NOT in the game):

7) CHAPTER 6 : CHAMPIONSHIPS
More Chessmaster Tips:
The Championships mode takes you to a place with over 50 tournaments, and, ofcourse, all of your games are rated! It has a tournament for every rating, soit won't be difficult for you to find one that fits your rating. And, there isalso a tournament mode for different Styles.
So, if you want to playagainst people who kamakaze their pieces, you can go and play them! Also, youhave the choice to create your own tournament, which is basically just settingup a queue of opponents to play against since it's not rated or anything.
Here I will list all the pre-made tournaments and what ratings they cover. Iwill not tell whether it's a round robin or swiss or all the other informationyou won't care about.
I will tell you each mode has it's own Time Control[see Settings section for more detail]. Each tournament has it's own number ofplayers and games.
More Chessmaster Tips:
The name in stars is the championship mode (it branches out the differenttournaments), and then the names after that are each tournament in that mode.The rating means that all the opponents in that mode/tournament are in thatrating.
