Ideal for chess enthusiasts with a Wii
If you're into chess, this is right up your alley. It's not exactly the kind of game that makes you go: WOW, what a top game!!! But it's also not so bad that you'd say: TOTALLY WORTHLESS!
Since my brother, father, and I enjoy playing chess, we couldn't resist picking up Wii Chess for the 10 euros we paid for it.
If you love chess and own a Wii, get this game! If you find chess boring, definitely steer clear of this one.

Great for chess enthusiasts
Whenever I visit my nephew on the weekends, he always plays Wii Chess. It's a game you have to enjoy to make it your favorite, but I sometimes join in when I feel like it. It's not spectacular, but then again, what can you expect from chess?

A standard chess game.
This chess game is actually just a standard chess game. I also think the target audience for Wii Chess is more towards older people. There isn't much excitement or many extras included. But that's okay, because it's still a fun game to play.

Simply Enjoy Chess
Do you love chess? Always in the mood for a game? Then this 'game' is perfect for you!

Wii Chess is essentially a standard chess game. Nothing more. You have to love it, but also be able to play it! This game is actually very difficult. For everyone. Luckily, you can set it to easy. But even then, I don't win. I'm just glad I know how chess works. But I don't think this game will ever go back into my Wii (U) again.

Monotonous, but sufficient for the chess enthusiasts among us!
It's likely that this game isn't selling very well since there are already dozens of chess games available on the computer, or simply because people prefer real chess. Wii Chess is essentially a kind of chess simulator, and the entire game revolves around chess! So, if you're into that, it's a fun game!

Chess: Nothing more, nothing less
Wii Chess is a title that delivers exactly what it promises: a nice game of chess. It may not provide the same feeling as a real chessboard, but it is perfectly capable of providing a bored chess player with a good alternative, and maybe even a few new challenges. Not a top-notch game, but definitely a must-have for chess enthusiasts who own a Wii.

Fun but sometimes challenging
If you're not a very skilled chess player, you might struggle with the opponents in Wii Chess, as they can be quite tough at times. However, if you're up against a really weak opponent, you can easily defeat them with the so-called "fool's mate," allowing you to checkmate your opponent within 5 moves.

Great for true chess enthusiasts.
This game is truly enjoyable for the real chess enthusiasts among us. If you're not a chess player or don't enjoy it, I advise against buying it. It can get boring after a while. It's the same game over and over. However, for true chess lovers, Wii Chess is simply a must-have. You can practice for real matches and adjust the difficulty levels. In conclusion: great for the aficionado.

Just normal.
Wii Chess is basically just regular chess, but in a virtual form. It doesn't have any special additions, but there's nothing wrong with that. The controls are good, the graphics are as they should be, and no further comments. If you just want to enjoy a game of chess, then this is the game for you.

Awkward difficulty levels
The levels are very awkward: they are either way too difficult or way too easy. This makes you not want to play Wii Chess anymore. If you're lucky, there might be a level that suits you.
