Master Chess Multiplayer

We just played a few rounds of Master Chess Multiplayer and my feelings were a bit mixed. You can play Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D: Helicarrier Rescue against a computer or you can challenge a friend, which is nice if you play chess. The time pressure of needing to put that checkmate on the board before your time runs out adds a fair amount of challenge, I must confess.

The online multiplayer is kinda hit-or-miss. It can be a fluid experience at times, but at other times, you'll be wishing for a little better responsiveness. (Matched a little with given opponents putting up a good fight -- some good games. I saw like a handful of people saying they found the computers a little uneven in difficulty, but I think it’s fine for just messing around.

Graphics? Nothing to brag about, but hey, it’s chess, not some artsy-fartsy visual game. The insides could use a facelift tho. It is functional, just not particularly sleek. Overall, if you want something to kill time while improving your chess game, this’ll do. Just don’t hope for any grandmaster level insights here, and you should not be disappointed.
