Description:

Chess Mentor created a completely different concept in chess instruction. Chess Mentor is not a game nor is it a computer opponent that beats you mercilessly, rather Chess Mentor is like having your own private chess coach. This distinction is very important. For example, imagine playing chess against a world-renowned Grandmaster player. Playing games against him would undoubtedly yield constant defeat with very minimal instruction. As an alternative, the Grandmaster could teach you to play chess better, by providing scenarios with a specific challenge, to look at, to study, and to SOLVE. Consistent with this concept, Chess Mentor uses a patented learning environment to present you with an array of chess challenges. These challenges were crafted by internationally respected chess teachers. Each challenge is broken down into small steps. A wide variety of tools, in both graphics and text, are provided to guide you through each step of a challenge.

Key Features

  • Unique chess challenges by professional coaches like IM Jeremy Silman
  • Customized amount of help and lets you ask for different levels of hints
  • Highlights themes, important squares, and key pieces in the position
  • Gives feedback on all of your available moves, not just the correct move
  • Allows multiple profiles for different players to receive customized lessons
  • Measures progress and scores on individual problems and overall progress

Not sure about this download.  I downloaded the setup file, extracted it to a folder program files/games/ and that worked fine.  Then I ran chessmentordemo.exe and nothing happened.  Checked task manager and it was running.  I killed the process and shortly after my zonealarm asked if I should allow Thunderbird email client to access the internet.  I said no and after that, Thunderbird launched with a pre-populated email with the chessmasterdemo.exe in the document as an attachment.

I closed it and haven't run it since.  Could be me, but I'm paranoid about this stuff.
