Grandmaster Chess is a computer chess game published for MS-DOS in 1992. It was developed by IntraCorp and its subsidiary Capstone Software that was focused on neural network technology and an artificial intelligence able to learn from mistakes.

The original release of the game includes VGA and SVGA support, multiple skill levels, different sets of pieces, boards and backgrounds, 2D/3D view, pull-down menus, ability to rewind and replay moves, and a rating of the player's strength. A 1993 CD-ROM version adds Terminator 2: Judgment Day: Chess Wars, an animated chess set like Battle Chess, as a tie-in with the film Terminator 2: Judgment Day. In 2021, a Windows port of the original was released as Grandmaster Championship Chess.
