Ubisoft has announced Chessmaster: The Art of Learning for Nintendo DS has shipped to retail and Chessmaster: Grandmaster Edition for Windows PC has gone gold and will be released on October 30th. In both games, Josh Waitzkin, International Master and eight-time National Chess Champion, coaches players to grasp the basic fundamentals of chess and to master the game through courses and tutorials taken directly from his book, The Art of Learning (Free Press). Players can then practice their newly learned skills in single-player mode or challenge their friends in multiplayer mode via LAN or Internet.
