Chessmaster (SNES) Gameplay
The Chessmaster was an extremely powerful chess program for its time. Also some say the friendliest! To suit any chess player from beginner to expert. There are 16 levels from Newcomer to Grandmaster.
The Chessmaster chess engine is called The King, and was written by Johan de Koning of the Netherlands. It was introduced into Chessmaster 4000; earlier releases featured a chess engine written by David Kittinger.
The King engine permits players to create new playing styles, these are called “personalities”, by adjusting numerous settings, such as King Safety, Pawn Weakness, Randomness, Mobility and others. Individual piece values can also be changed.

Chessmaster (SNES) ROM Download
Question : Is It Illegal To Download and Play a ROM of Chessmaster ?
Answer : Yes it is illegal. We will not supply any links to download the Chessmaster rom file as we want to keep this site legal. Nintendo have posted the following on there website “whether you have possession of a Nintendo ROM for a limited amount of time, i.e. 24 hours, it is illegal to download and play a Nintendo ROM from the Internet” which makes it clear that downloading ROMS is completely illegal.
A lot of people say this is a grey area, Some say as long as you own the game on the SNES you can download and play the ROM as a backup to the physical media, this is not true. Nintendo see ROMS as a threat to date to the intellectual property rights of video game developers.
