Vista - Chess Titans

04-04-2009

Does anyone know how good Chess Titans is? I put it on level 6 twice and it beat Kasparov Chess at a rating of 2350, easily. I wish I still had Chessmaster. Also, from what little I have found on the net it seems that a lot of people are complaining about bugs. I haven't had any problems with it.

It is supposed to be FUN. It would not be fun if it beat you all the time.
Serious Chess Players have other programs to test and master their skills.

I don't know about that. I played a couple of more games, only this time
switched sides, and Kasparov killed CT.
