One of the most famous computer chess engines ever created, Socrates 3.0 is the engine behind EA's underrated Kasparov's Gambit and was, in the mid-1980s, THE engine commonly regarded as the best chess AI ever created.
Although it has since been eclipsed by more modern programs such as Deep Blue, this computer version of Socrates does justice to the engine's fame, offering multiple levels of difficulty that will challenge even expert chess players. It is a very simple chess game, as it lacks 'bells and whistles' such as the historical games database and the alternative chess pieces common in 'conventional' games such as the Chessmaster series. This means that the game will probably be too 'dry' for casual players, and frankly daunting for beginners. However, expert meisters who want a real challenge will find the game very challenging, with a world famous chess engine that holds up well over time. thumbs up!
