I'm not sure what they did with it after I left them (it was the last
project I designed for them). It was VERY cool. The working title was
"Chess for Kids" and had the animated pieces give situation reports after
every move, what was good, what wasn't and give advice as to what they
could do now. It had a tactical analysis screen where you could go over
every move you could make and it would tell you the advantages and
disadvantages of that move. It was intended to teach someone how to play
chess in a fun, non-threatening way. They were talking about adding part
of that technology into CheckMate(tm) and their other chess programs.
I haven't seen a released product, but I haven't looked around. Usually
they give me a free copy of the software, but they didn't the last 2
released products I designed for them (Mario Teaches Typing CD-Rom,
Mario's Game Gallery)
