Chess Titans

Play a rousing game of chess against the computer or against someone who is online at the time.

When you begin playing the game, you'll see that the graphics and the intricate details of the game are striking. Each piece is carefully mastered so that it looks like you could pick it up off of the board. This is a classic game with a simple layout. There aren't any fun sounds or themes to choose from in the game. All you get is a chess board and the pieces, allowing you to concentrate on moving around the board and defeating the opponent. Even though there isn't the glitz and glamour that you might find in other board games, it's still fun to play and soothing for the mind.

If you're a beginner, there are a few hints offered to help you understand how each piece can move and where you should move on the board in order to win the game. After you have mastered the basics of the game, you can change the difficulty level for a challenge. This means that the computer you're playing against is a bit tougher, and you will be paired with people who have quite a few wins under their belt. Although you can't really change the background, you can change the material of the pieces, such as crystal or wood, giving a beautiful display for the game. To move the pieces around the board, you will use the keyboard or the mouse to pick up each piece before shifting it to where you want it to go on the board.
