Subject: Chess Titans freeware on Vista and Kasparovs in-flight chess program
|
In Microsoft Vista OS there is a free game is called "Chess Titans", which, at the highest level, even a class C player can regularly beat. And the crummy program doesn't even allow you to save games, it just tracks how many games you've won. What a joke. 3D graphics are nice however. Likewise for Kasparov's sponsored program that you find on some Boeing 777 airplanes--even at the highest level a class B player can easily win. An example of how computers can be dumbed down to satisfy their human masters. RL

May be there is a difference between Premium and others type of Vista OS. I am agree - Chess Titans is for kids! :) If you wonna strong program - get Ftitz (paid) or Arena with Sparky (free).

Strange, but my OS came with backgammon, checkers, reversi and several others, but not chess. There is obviously a conspiracy, since I would get slaughtered by a computer in any of those games, but in chess, I have few equals (Rob Mitchell, Sanny, and maybe IM Innes). -- help bot
