I clicked on the PLAY link in the FUN section and it immediately loaded a board with animated bunnies on a grassy board. I loaded up the FUN section and there are 4 sub-sections: PLAY, PUZZLE, MINI GAMES, and LEARN BASICS. I immediately ignored FUN because chess is about winning, not having fun. I have subsequently owned 7000, 8000, 9000, and the hallowed 10th edition.Īfter loading the game, putting in my name, age, and chess experience I was presented with a cute simple menu of LEARN, PLAY or FUN.
