Got it on sale for $2 USD because it's Steam Deck verified and I have fond memories of chess club in middle school (even though I was never the best at it) so I thought it might be fun to tote around physically since I like a couple of Capstone's other games. But that said, I don't recommend this shovelware gutter trash, even at that price. Presentationally, it's dated as f*ck compared to modern alternatives. When the best part is the title screen, you're an abject failure. No music, no nothing except this irritating droning sound that sometimes happens as the computer is making its move. "Erm, having music would break the player's concentration," stfu. Then Capstone could've included a mute option. They'd already included a bajillion piece sets and board options, which is cute, but it's about the only praise I can levy this game's way. Continuing, the "3D mode" (which is just an isometric view, wahoo?) disables the ability to see the computer's calculations as it precisely figures out how to annihilate you irregardless of if you get advice from the game or are just winging it, playing with no input.

Amazing chess game. What more do you need? How is it that only this chess game (that I know of) has a pure D&D style piece set? Actually, there's TWO such sets here. There's BEHOLDERS! Dragons, centaurs, fairies trolls, barbarians, elven warriors, clerics... it's all there. 2D and 3D board options, plus you can customise the board itself. It has levels of mastery I'll probably never get to (filthy chess casual and all that), and is charmingly simple with its timeless pixel graphics. So, for me, it's wonderful - the best chess game ever made. 10/10. All the chess you'll ever need.1 found this helpful
