Wigby the Wizard brings the wonderful world of chess to you with wild sound effects and crazy animations! Wigby is aided by Wanda the Magic Wand, as well his faithful sidekick (the Flying Carpet) and a whole host of animated chess pieces that fall through trap doors in the chessboard when they are captured.
Created by the designers of "Where in the World is Carmen San Diego?" -- and built with "all ages" of young chess players in mind -- Chess Mates is a great way to learn and develop your children's or student's love of chess -- and adult beginners love it too!
Complete with puzzles, tutorials, and a "beginner-friendly" playing engine, Chess Mates makes the game of chess fun for all!
And -- as if that were not enough -- every player will be thrilled when they get to print out a beautiful certificate of congratulations upon beating the Chess Mates playing-engine for the first time at each one of 10 levels of skill.
