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.

You can not only practice your chess skills, but also learn new ways to take on your opponents. 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.
