Reception

[edit | edit source]

The Chessmaster 4000 Turbo received universally positive reviews. Computer Gaming World compared the game to Kasparov's Gambit and said that Chessmaster 4000 has a less accurate rating system but better game analysis system and opponents have more variety in playstyle. The game was called a solid, flexible, and easy-to-use chess program.[5] Mikrobitti said it is "more in-depth chess program than its predecessors, suitable for all skill levels."[4] Génération 4 called the game "an indispensable purchase".[12] Electronic Entertainment wrote: "Stunning visuals, extensive artificial personalities, remarkable playing strength, and excellent natural language advice—you get it all in Chessmaster 4000 Turbo." PC Joker said that compared to Chessmaster 3000 the playing strength is only slightly improved, and it does not quite reach the level of Mephisto Genius 2.0 or Mephisto Gideon but should still be enough for most players.[15] In a 1995 comparison between 11 chess programs, Computer Gaming World rated Chessmaster 4000 the second highest after a pre-release version of Chessmaster 5000.[17]
