Mayura Chess Board Pro Demo

Chess is not that complicated to learn, but very few people around the world get to call themselves grandmasters. In essence, the rules are quite simple and straightforward, since every piece can be moved following a certain pattern, but the amount of possible moves as the game progresses increases exponentially, which is why it is so difficult to choose the best solution every time.

Mayura Chess Board Pro is a simulator that allows you to practice your skills and use a powerful algorithm to analyze your moves, as well as match your wits against the computer. As you may very well be aware, computers have already beaten a grandmaster, so you probably should not fear that won’t get the challenge you’ve been waiting for.

When it comes to gameplay and interface, the game is as straightforward as it can be, while also being friendly and inviting. Thus, you just have to drag-and-drop the pieces on the board in order to move them, which is about as close to the real thing as possible. The entire board and the game window can be resized as much as you want, in case you need the window to be smaller or bigger.

In case you want to improve your own strategies and come up with better solutions to certain situations, the game allows you to ask for advice. Hence, the A.I. calculates the best moves and shows them to you, in order to learn how to properly assess the situation the next time. If you are playing against the computer, you can view the output of its calculations, which shows clearly the moves it considered before making the final decision.

Graphically, there’s not a lot of artwork involved in the game, but that’s not the purpose of chess anyway. Maybe prettier pieces could have helped with the atmosphere, but it certainly wouldn’t have helped with your chess skills. It is much easier to distinguish the pieces this way, given the fact that they are designed to be as suggestive as possible.

It must be mentioned that Mayura Chess Board Pro is a tad more difficult than your average chess simulator, mainly because of the complex A.I.. Hence, if you are not an advanced player, you might find the challenge to be a bit frustrating, unless you are stubborn and difficult to convince otherwise.
