    2) 2
    3) 1, basically this is just the summary of everything and it's not suitable for a beginner who needs everything to be explained step by step.
    4) 4, it looks fun and challenging although it seems to have certain complexity.
    5) Variety of colour helps.

  3. 1) 4
    2) 3
    3) 3.5 maybe some side tips like.. the Bishop and the queen you could summarize it a little. Might be easier to understand in least words.

    4) 4 yes, (agree with anonymous above me) :)
    5) Can use darker brown on the opposite space to differentiate the different teams, so you can save the space from the two check box below.

    Q3 Do you think you are now able to play chess with the help of this graphical information? Please state your reason(s).

    The information are too random, I don't know where to start reading. When I saw the big "4" on the upper right side, I thought it is the number where we should start reading and I started searching for "1" but later I found out that it was not like that.

    For the movement of the chess piece, I think you need to clarify more, example:

    king move diagonally and straight, but you didn't state "moves by 1 step only"

    same to queen, you said move freely. What is meant by freely? So you have to edit the words I think.

    The symbols and points, I don't understand what it is for, is it used for tournament/some competition? or just for recording movement of a game? you didn't state that.

    I think the words could be simplified and you need to guide the audience where to start reading, and which information is more important (eg, put in bold, or increase the size), which are the detailed info (eg, smaller words).

    Q3
    3 I can't figure out the main aim of the game. I see the clock with the time, but what does it actually mean?

    Q4
    It definitely looks attractive. But after looking at it for a while, I realised I don't know where to start reading from. It makes me feel a little inferior to learn chess. Maybe numbered steps would help.

    Q5
    Add more colours. Organise it with steps.

  12. Q1 Readability [ 4.5 ]
    Q2 Understandability [4]
    Q3 Do you think you are now able to play chess with the help of this graphical information? Please state your reason(s).
    - Yes, it has all the information we need to start moving the chess pieces,and you even included the basic 4 steps checkmate. I think its all pretty well covered.


    Are you interested to find more about chess when you first look at it? Please state your reason(s)
    Yes, after looking into your basic info about chess, I would probably search online for more details about chess strategies.


    What suggestion do you have that will help the graphical informations to meet your need(s)?
    I would probably be introducing the layout into few sections using boxes. Cause there's too many info, and when I first look at it, i just dunno where to start. Probably distributing it into boxes of different categories. So I can look at things section by sections.

  13. Q1
    -> 4

    Q2
    -> 3

    Q3
    -> I get the parts, as in basics of bits and pieces of what is expected to be done and all, but I don't think that a fresh beginner would be able to process all these information and to put it into practical practice. Probably make a flow chart? To link all these pieces and hence, produces a better understanding level for the beginners.

    Q4
    -> Caught my interest alright~ X3 Interesting graphics and choices of words. Also, the effect of the whole graphic is awesome~

    Q5
    -> Try condensing the descriptions and explanations further - it's currently too wordy. Overall, me likey~ *thumbs up*

    Yes. Chess is so easy to learn.


    Are you interested to find more about chess when you first look at it? Please state your reason(s)
    Yes. Because I need an opponent to play with so that I can learn more.

    Q3 Do you think you are now able to play chess with the help of this graphical information? Please state your reason(s).
    I think I can. But then, I will have to spend time and effort on it. For such impatient people like me, I doubt I will try to learn it when I see this on the first sight. It's not convincing enough for the starter.


    Are you interested to find more about chess when you first look at it? Please state your reason(s)
    At first look, I am attracted by the graphic. The colours chosen look pretty interesting and classic.

    What suggestion do you have that will help the graphical informations to meet your need(s)?
    I think the whole thing is too compacted. Should play with more space.. Now that things are so close to each other, like no air to breathe. So, perhaps, have to find solution in making the spaces look more comfortable.

    3. Yes, may be. But will be defended in no time. LOL.
    4. May be. But I'm not interested in chess.
    5. The flow was random. It didnt guide me where to start reading. It would be prefect to redesign the positions. And tis information, are they for websites/notice boards/leaflets? And I prefer more colours too >.<

    BTW, ur design improved a LOT from ur 1st designs way back. Well done and congrats. I may not know much bout designing, but I'm impressed with ur designs now. Cant wait for more surprises.
