Quality... simple as that
This is a super game for all chess strengths. There are many freeware programs available that are stronger but for fun and beauty this is a must.

Good idea, badly executed
I love chess, so when I discovered the existence of this game here on BFG, I downloaded the trial. I was profoundly disappointed. The graphics are poor, being rather tiny and pixellated; I suspect this was originally a DOS game. The real problem with it, however, is the complete lack of instruction.
I know how to play chess. When I clicked on the tutorial button, I expected an explanation of how to play THIS game - how to make the pieces move, whether to left-click or double-click or whatever. Instead, I was given a very rudimentary explanation of the ways the different pieces move, and how to execute the en passant and castling moves. Nowhere is there any information of how to actually get your pieces to move on the board.
I've since learned via the forum how to do it, thanks to other players who took the time to figure it out through trial and error. So if you want to give the game a try, go there and read the instructions that the game's makers couldn't be bothered to provide.

AWFUL
This game was awful. Extremely POOR graphics. Very hard to follow screen action due to poor graphics.

I've never written a review before but decided to give it a go. My reason for doing so is that, at first, I was put off from trying this game by a couple of the more negative reviews to be found here. However, I decided to download the free trial anyway ? and I'm very glad that I did so.
The interface, in fact, is quite easy to navigate and the pieces are very easy to move. You just left-click the piece you want to move and right-click the square you want to move it to ? job's done. When you first start up the game, in addition to the 3-D chessboard, you'll see a small conventional chessboard, plus a window for displaying captured pieces, along with a window for the move list. Pressing the keyboard escape key brings up a sub-menu. This is a very handy feature. At any time during a game you can call up the sub-menu and change some of the game's settings. E.g., you can show/hide the move list, the captured pieces etc., if you want/don't want them visible. If you have the conventional chessboard displayed it can also be used to move the pieces in exactly the same way as with the 3-D board ? or by dragging and dropping. All very nifty.
The game doesn't have any time controls but for me that's a mute point anyway. If you're playing against the computer it's always going to be able to evaluate hundreds more positions per second than you can ? so what's the point of trying to out-do it on time? Some will disagree with that and perhaps point out that games involving grand masters v computers are always timed ? and the computer doesn't always win. It's a factor in those kind of games ? but how many of us will ever find ourselves playing at that level? All of the other game play features you'd expect to be present are there though e.g., player v player, player v computer, computer v computer ? that's good enough for me.
The 3-D pieces, all fully animated, are of the type you wouldn't want to run into up a dark lonely backstreet. Very scary ? but all the better for that. By holding down the left mouse button the board can be rotated and manoeuvred in such a way that it can be viewed from all manner of angle and perspective. It all gives the game a very realistic Tolkienesk sword and sorcery battleground feel. The only gripe I've got is that the knights are riderless winged horses. Where are the knights!? OK, in a conventional chess set the knights are just horse's heads. But if you're going to get creative with the design of chess pieces ?? That's a relatively minor gripe though. Doesn't spoil the fun.
I'm not a particularly strong player so I can't really comment on the game's maximum playing strength. How would I know? So far I've only played on the lowest settings and the best I can say is that if you're an ?average Joe?, the same as me, you can look forward to some stern challenges ahead for sure. What I have noticed though is that even on the lowest settings the game doesn't just ?roll over? if it detects you're playing questionable moves. If you play badly you'll get punished badly ? so beware!
At the end of the day chess is chess. The rules don't change even if the board and pieces do. But whilst having a game of chess, whilst listening to Bach or some such playing in the background, is all very nice and civilised ? sometimes you just want to get a real feel of the battleground. This game does the job admirably. I definitely recommend.

Should have listened to the reviews!
Even though I read the reviews, I still downloaded it to try the trial. I was sooo wrong to do this! I loved the graphics and know how to play chess, but couldn't get the peices to move! The tutorial only tells you how to PLAY CHESS not how to play the game. I tried everything I could think of but nothing worked. I got the board to rotate and zoom in and out but nothing else! Don't spend you money unless you really want to, this game is not worth it!
