Chess called also Chessmaster for the Sega Mega Drive is an unlicensed Chess game released in 1998. Although the game does not have any support from Sega, it was included on some of the Atgames consoles.

The game is just a typical Chess game, but is played from a 2.5D perspective. The board can also be customized, and the music can also be turned off. The graphics for the chess board and pieces were stolen from The Chessmaster series of games for Windows computers.
