Chess Titans is a chess video game included in Windows Vista Home Premium and Ultimate editions, and Windows 7 Home Premium, Professional, Enterprise, and Ultimate editions.

Graphics

The game is fully animated and designed for Windows Aero with its glass-like view. The game board is able to be rotated in 3D, and theme choices are available for the chess pieces and board.

Gameplay

The game can be played with either a mouse or any gamepad like a PlayStation 3 or a Xbox 360 controller for Windows. It can also be played through Windows Media Center, using the remote control provided with TV Tuner Cards, and certain laptops as well.

Player vs. computer

Players can play against the computer after selecting the computer skill in a scale from 1 to 10. After a move is made by the computer, the player can view the last move. When clicking on a chess piece, Chess Titans selects all possibilities for that move, which helps the player in playing chess. This option can also be turned off.

Player vs. player

In a two-player game, the chess board is automatically to turn 180 degrees after a player has made its move, although this option can be turned off. Chess Titans saves all scores of two-player games.
