A worthy addition to my PSP library

I am not a seasoned chess player, but I do enjoy playing the game. Online Chess Kingdoms is an excellent way to learn and practice strategies. I appreciate the fact that it has varying levels of difficulty; I win often enough that I don't get frustrated with playing, but I lose just enough to make it a challenge. I think that the animated chess pieces are a nice touch and I like the added content of the battle map. Overall, it is a worthy addition to my PSP library, and I recommend it to anyone that find chess remotely interesting.

The AI level is disappointing

I am not a chess master but I played quite a bit as a child/teen. After I read an interview from the firm that developped this game ("a robust AI") I was not expecting a first rate program but at least a good one. What a disappointment!! Even at the highest level, the opening library of the program is close to 0, the level during the game is low-average with some strange and bad moves from time to time.
If you like chess and expect the level of an average chess computer program, do NOT buy this game, you will be disappointed. If you are a chess beginner, this game could do the trick provided that you do not progress too quickly!
I also tested the on-line gaming and there was no human opponent... The AI proposed to play but the level here was really low.

Was fun and adds a new twist but the difficulty is beginner level at best.

The graphics and sound are first rate. Good game control - very intuitive. However, if you already have a chess game you like, then don't waste money on this one. The online component is fun, but playing chess online has been done before, too.

Finally a real chess game for the psp..

This game is great and you can connect to the internet to play, through your wireless connection. The game itself has different modes to play. battle chess or regular. With many different chess pieces to choose from.

I like this game but it keeps on freezing

THE ANIMATED CHESS BOARD IS COOL, BUT I PREFER PLAYING WITH REGULAR PIECES. IF YOU WANT TO PLAY WITH REGULAR PIECES, THE GAME MOVES VERY SLOWLY. THE GAMEPLAY IN BETWEEN CHESS MATCHES IS TIME CONSUMING AND BORING. THE GRAPHICS ARE GOOD, BUT THERE AREN'T VERY MANY CHOICES OF BOARDS OR PIECES.

no 3 Move Draw

I really liked this game until I came upon a position where I had made a mistake and I could only repeat moves.
After three times repeating the position it should recognize the Draw.

Needless to say, it did not, so after about 10 tries I finally gave up.
Bottom line a chess game must follow the rules otherwise it is not a chess game.

Can't put it down!

I do not regret buying this version at all! The overall game is great. From battle animated pieces or traditional game play. Different levels and options are great! All that I can say is: that it's perfect for your travel chess cravings. Theres no pieces to loose and you can play anywhere any time with the computer, friends, or online.
