Reception
Computer Gaming World stated that Grandmaster Chess "falls short of the current competition in terms of overall options". The magazine criticized the game's weak strategic analysis reporting, absence of an advertised teaching mode, and weak opening book. In a 1995 comparison between 11 chess programs, Computer Gaming World rated Grandmaster Championship Chess the third highest, sharing the same rating with Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess and Kasparov's Gambit. Game Players said that "Experienced players looking for a solid program with excellent graphics and a very smooth interface will love Grandmaster Chess."
