In this game, the player--we won't say "you", because "the player" in this instance is ideally your 9-13 year-old child or nephew (probably not niece--after all, Chess is a boy's game)--visits various sites portrayed in the Disney flick, and at these sites meets a variety of NPCs who engage him in conversation, pose puzzles and challenges for him, and teaches him the rules to Chess.
When you leave the "Chess Adventures" bit and start to just play "a quick game against the AI", the AI doesn't totally suck.
