I am using chess titans on windows vista as a practice and training tool. What does the chess community think about this?

I wouldn't use Windows Vista on a bet. I've never heard of Chess Titans.

chess master is good...with trainging from whiteskin howver u spell his name lol...the kid from searching for bobby fischer

Chessmaster is awesome. I'm learning so much from Josh's tutorials and the Chessmaster series. Get that one. By the way, the NEW version is coming out October 24 for PC and Nintendo D.S. I may be buying BOTH.

      Sorry what are the titans? Thought it was a football team.

Yea,I'd like to know what chess titans is or are to.

whatever you are happy with!  Perhaps play against several free programs?  Try sourceforge.

Chess Titans is a new chess game that comes with Microsoft's Windows Vista program. It is the first time (as far as I know) that Microsoft has added a chess program along with their long standard fare of games such as Mine Sweeper. As for it's strenght, or training capabilities, that I do not know.

 

 

I've played Chess Titans.  As for it's strength...it was able to beat me, but that's not saying much.  Not the best software, you can play chess and that's it. It's probably not much more than a 3d version of the game on this site (albeit, likely more powerful and coded in either C++ or C#).

 Get a decent chess program like Chessmaster 10/11 or Fritz, you won't regret it.  I'm partial to Chessmaster 10 for the tutorials and puzzles, but opinions will definitely vary.

Chess Titans

1. no analysis or tutorials

2. only three styles of board and one style of pieces

3. can be 3D or 2D

4. 10 levels of playing strength the highest probably being around 1750

5. no time controls but the computer doesn't waste a lot of time to make moves

You definately should pick up Chessmaster

Out with the titans, in with chessmaster...
