Ben Mitchell for *[ACE](/wiki/ACE_%28magazine%29 "ACE (magazine)")* stated that "Unless you are a connoisseur of chess games or have beaten your old chess program then it is probably not worth upgrading to *Chess Champion 2175*.

*[Amiga Format](/wiki/Amiga_Format "Amiga Format")* summarized: "\[...] Chess Champion stands up well and provides an excellent game for beginner and experienced amateur alike."

*[Amiga Power](/wiki/Amiga_Power "Amiga Power")* said that "The game's mouse\-only control is intuitive, its apparent depth \- we're talking a huge library of opening moves here \- is awesome and the level of tutoring offered is comprehensive."

*Génération 4* said it is superior to its competition of the moment, looks good, and does not suffer from major faults.

Jay Kee reviewed the game for *[Computer Gaming World](/wiki/Computer_Gaming_World "Computer Gaming World")*, and stated that "Just another chess program? Is the Taj Mahal just another building? Is Bo Jackson just another ball player? No. They are all outstanding."

Judith Kilbury\-Cobb for *[.info](/wiki/Info_%28magazine%29 "Info (magazine)")* said that "If you've never played chess before, or even if you consider yourself an expert, check out *Checkmate*."

*[InCider](/wiki/InCider "InCider")* said "If you've ever wondered how a computer plays chess, you can watch *Checkmate* as it asks 'what if?' of hundreds of possible moves."

Cameron Crotty for *Electronic Entertainment* said that "*CheckMate* features much stronger game play – enough to keep even advanced club players hopping. The bare\-bones interface lets you control the computer's style of play, and you can even tell your Mac to play a particular line from its large opening library."


What is the game's control system like?
