Review Silver Star Chess (WiiWare)
A silver star for a second rate Chess game.
As the world’s oldest game (except perhaps bowling...see the Bowling Hall of Fame in St. Louis, Missouri for a compelling argument that Bowling was invented by cavemen), Chess is the ultimate in public domain properties. Amazingly, Silver Star Chess is the first variant of the pastime on WiiWare and so...

Silver Star Chess News
Nintendo Download Masks, Crystals, Chess and Art (US)
The 300th VC game joins two WiiWare games and a single DSiWare release.
Many people saw it coming - The amount of Virtual Console games available in North America was nearing 300, so it was logical to assume that Nintendo of America was saving Majora's Mask in order to make it game number 300. That turns out to be true - The Legend of Zelda:...
About The Game
Silver Star Chess has two modes: 1-Player and 2-Player. 1-Player mode allows you to play a chess match against the computer opponent. 2-Player mode allows you to play against another person. In 1-Player mode, you can select one of five different computer opponents, as well as turn the background music off, adjust sound effects and access in-game help features.
Also, during the match, you can redo your last move, save the game at any point or resign from the game. After the match has ended, you can review each move made during the match. While reviewing the match in this way, you can resume that match at any point.

wont be getting this
When I heard this was going to be localized, I was quite surprised. The ESRB summary, though, has some... interesting comments.
My question though, why not include online?
Oh, and will Nintendo announce Wii Chess for WiiWare already!
I think I would rather have Wii Chess.
Does it support wifi? If so, that's the only reason I'll get it- not many of my friends are into Chess, so if I could play on wifi, that would be great.
Does it have different views of the board or different pieces?

That layout looks strange to me. It'd be better to me if the pieces were not in the pseudo 3D arrangement so that they don't appear larger than the board and/or laying horizontal. I'd prefer it if the board was slightly tilted or better yet if the pieces were given more of a top down view so as not to obstruct the board.
@StarDust: If it did I would've gotten it instantly. Sadly, that's not the case. We may have to wait for Wii Chess to get our online fix.
