Video Game Reviews of Majestic Chess (Jewel Case)
Customer Review: Good game, but fights with Windows XP, a lot.
Summary: 1 Stars
I had an earlier version of this game which worked fine until I scratched the CD.
This copy is a great bother. First, it locked up Windows XP, repeatedly.
Now the first time I start it daily, the Install & promo blip comes up. Have to shut it down and start over.
Should have sent the #$%&@ back, whether or not I got a refund.
The game itself, the tutorials, etc. are most enjoyable.

This is a really good computer game exept that you have to keep the cover and the password or you can't get in! Now I am going to have to buy another one to get the password! I any of you know what the password is I would really like to know.

Summary: 4 Stars
After reading many reviews about various computer chess games I finally selected this one and am pleased that I did. I was looking for a game that could teach my 7 year old how to play chess, and in an interesting way. The adventures clearly did that.
At first I didn't understand how the adventures worked. I thought this program would be a little more straight forward and therefore I completely missed how to do the adventures. My 7 year old had to show me how.....!
But since then it has been an interesting journey going from lower to higher and higher levels. We both needed something that was NOT intended for advanced players since we both are mere beginners. This game is easy to use, no problems with crashing the PC or even slowing it down, and the colors and graphics are great!
The reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that it could be a little bit more user friendly with some concrete directions instead of just seeing what the adventures are and where they go. But once I got the hang of them, again, thanks to my brilliant and non-genetically related 7 year old daughter, I was also on my way to learning how to play this game.
Customer Review: Great for 6yr old- and parents, too
Summary: 5 Stars
My six-year old loves this game, and we do, too. He and my husband have played the adventure mode and games against the AI players. They like the fact that you can choose opponents of different skill levels. I had never been interested in chess (my brothers and dad play), but I started playing the adventure mode with them, and now I can actually play a game without embarassing myself too badly. And it's lots of fun to play against my son (even though he beat me).
The game does occasionally freeze up on our system, but so do many graphics intensive games. Save when you beat challenge!
