The Chessmaster, called Sega Chess in Brazil, is a simple chess game for the Sega Game Gear. A Sega Mega Drive version, originally set for a physical release, also became as a Sega Channel exclusive.

The Chessmaster is part of the Chessmaster series, and, given its age, is likely an adaption of the 1989 game, The Fidelity Chessmaster 2100, the second major entry in the series.
