[h2]One of the classiest ways to play chess online[/h2] There are three main quretions that people have on their minds when thinking about buying a chess-simulation game: [i]How huge is the playerbase? How strong's the AI? How's the look-and-feel?[/i] I'm going to answer those questions here. [h3]Appearence[/h3] The graphics and music are just brilliant and make every game a wonderful experience. There are different settings with different soundtracks. DLCs contain either an extra setting, or extra pieces, or both. Pieces can be combined freely with any settings.

Some preset camera perspectives are weird and effect disturbing reflections of light, but the camera can always be adjusted freely and locked where one wants it to be. [h3]AI[/h3] When setting up a game against the AI, you are to select from some 12 different AI opponents that go from "Novice" to "Grandmaster". I'm not a grandmaster, so I can't...
