Pure Nintendo: "In the end Pure Chess is a great representation of chess and everything that the classic board game entails. With additional options to ‘Learn to play’ and ‘Chess Challenges’, Pure Chess is a great fit for experienced Grand Masters or those who would be playing chess for the first time. On both the Wii U and 3DS version the touch controls can be a little finicky but not enough to detract from the experience. With the 3DS and Wii U versions of Pure Chess providing essentially the same experience across both platforms, it would not be worth it to buy the game on both systems unless players want the better looking Wii U version but still want to bring Pure Chess on the go as well. Those who are not that into playing chess may not find Pure Chess to be a good purchase but those who enjoy the board game and enthusiast will find great value in Pure Chess."
James writes - "When family and friends come round, the drinks are flowing and the chat grows tiresome, it’s usually time to venture to the board game cupboard. Half the time is spent setting it up and packing it away, but there’s an even easier way to enjoy the world of board games at the press of a button... via the Xbox One."
Neil writes "There are all manner of piece sets and board types available to choose from in Pure Chess, but from today those options have just got a load sexier."
XBA says: Does this one deliver a checkmate or should you en passant on it? Rook no further!
