Chess Infinity

I really wanted to like this game. I wanted to love it actually. But it should have never left Beta. Explain to me how my rig can run Black Myth Wukong at full ultra graphics but now it struggles to play a chess game??? I tested on two computers. The desktop is Windows 11 desktop with an i9 cpu, 64gb of RAM, and a Radeon RX 9070 XT 16GB. It doesn't matter if I put the game on ultra settings, high, or medium, my computer heats up like an oven. Im not trying to kill my rig for a chess game. That's just utter insanity. My laptop is a Fedora KDE Plasma with an AMD Ryzen 7 6800H cpu, 64GB of RAM, and an integrated Radeon 680M. It plays DUNE Spice Wars (2023) at full graphics. But it can't handle a Chess game. It's even worse here, it stutters ... on a Chess game. Please optimize the game. Stop with the addons, and optimize the game. Now for the actual review, if you can get this to play without harming your computer, it's not as good as Learning Chess with Dr Wolf, a mobile chess game. The lessons in Chess Infinity are very low quality. They're not interactive. They don't show you what can go wrong, or show you why you made a mistake. It just tells you what to do. And…

In an era where the Chessmaster series has long faded into memory, it is genuinely refreshing to encounter a chess title that refuses to follow the herd. While the current market for chess training tools and software is obsessed with pushing the boundaries of algorithmic brute force and raw engine strength, this title chooses a different path: it embraces chess as it was originally meant to be – pure gaming and entertainment. This is easily one of the most engaging chess experiences I’ve encountered post-Chessmaster. Where other titles feel more like digital examination halls for the brain, this game offers a playfulness that invites genuine enjoyment. It packs more than enough substance to provide hours of quality entertainment, making it a rare gem for anyone who prioritizes the sheer joy of play over dry, theoretical drilling.

At $7.99 its totally worth the price of admission! It's pretty, the graphics are very good, the atmospheres are incredible, the animations are cool, audio is good, leveling is good, many different players and difficulty levels, etc. This game makes my graphics card and CPU run warmer than Warzone or any FPS game I play. Still well within / under the safe zone limit, just ODD to me to say the least. Very good game for all levels of Chess intellect, from easy to humiliatingly impossible. The scenery is gorgeous, the award system is cool and creative as well. If you like Chess, I'm pretty confident you'll like this game, and yes you can play online humans too. Definitely recommend even at the full price of $10.00

Relaxing and beautiful looking chess game

30 gigabyte download for a chess game is a bit much. I tried to like it, but other than playing chess there is baraly nothing, there is no analysis, just a handful of puzzles, badly readable boards... I'll stick to ultra chess for now, and use shredder chess or stockfish for analising my games

good graphics . gives a pleasant ambience in the game. feels like playing chess
