Your second game this week is: Chessmaster Live!

Still waiting for that ultimate Chess experience? Then Chessmaster Live might be what you're looking for.

"A downloadable version of Ubisoft’s hit “Chessmaster” series, “Chessmaster Live” allows players to test and tune their chess skills against the AI or opponents of all aptitudes around the globe via Xbox LIVE. “Chessmaster Live” features five original chess variants, including a Message Chess option, which allows gamers to engage in matches over the span of several days, weeks or even months. The title boasts both beautifully crafted 3D chess sets inspired by luxury chess board designer House of Staunton."

The game will be available on Wednesday for 800 Microsoft Points. Chessmaster is well known for its excellent Chess AI, so if you're hurting from Spyglass' board games, this might be what you're looking for, or Shotest Shogi (A popular chess variant in Japan) coming later this year via AI Factory.
