It's time to P-P-P-P P-P-P-P-PLAY CHESS!
I couldn't resist.

 

[B-Blue]

The cover is like: Learn Chess

 

[CyrusBlue]

People are dumping shovelware back to back but yet no one has bothered to dump Kamen Rider: Dragon Knight.

I don't understand people sometimes.

 

[Chanser]

They have no obligation to release it, so don't complain. You could release it yourself.

how is this shovelware? just because you don't like chess its automatically shovelware? lol

 

[Opium]

This might be interesting if it includes advanced chess tactics. Does anyone know if it's just for beginners learning to play for the first time or if it's also for advanced players?

I like Chess alot but this is shovelware. This is the fifth "Learn to play Chess" - "game" on the DS and that's only counting the ones that were dumped.

Wikipedia

Shovelware is a derogatory computer jargon term that refers to software noted more for the quantity of what is included than for the quality or usefulness.

The term "shovelware" has more recently been used in a more general sense by video game reviewers to indicate any product of disappointingly low quality due to a lack of time and effort by the developers.

but they are actually quite informative and this one could be different then the other games some chess games really suck and some are great...

also by what you just quoted pokemon could be labeled as shovelware because they keep doing the same thing over and over its just an over popular shovelware lol

Lack of time and effort?
Somebody hasn't played recent pokemon games.
Or programmed anything useful.

 

[Inunah]

I laugh at the box art of this game because it's something I could create in paint.

...This makes me worry about my DS.

 

[triassic911]

Wow.... It's like they KNOW I need to learn.

 

[Inunah]

What if you know chess but only need to figure out how to beat a certain strategy, anyway? Like, this dude I played chess against once had a really random strategy that really can't be emulated by a game....... But I couldn't beat him, so I need to learn how to beat his strategy.

Would this game be able to help with that?
