Chess Knight 2

I got this on sale at 70% off. It is just a very simple chess game that works. If you don't have a Chess game then this is worth it. I didn't and haven't played Chess on the computer since Yahoo chat was popular 18 years ago. I can't compare this to anything up to date. If you want to play against a computer in a fast game than Chess Knight 2 does it. By fast, I mean easy to understand, launch and play your 1st game without really much to learn about the software. You can't play a serious game of chess with non standard pieces. You think about which pieces is what while thinking about the best moves. I knew this before I got it. That is just a sales gimmick. It does have the standard pieces in 3D and that is why I brought it. Move the king 2 to the right and it castles. You can promote your pawn to queen automatically by making it to the last row. Just move the piece in a legal way and it does what it is suppose to do. The game has very few options. 4 levels, so far just played the 1st...

Graphics are subpar and very glitchy. The game requires a lot of ram though it's very simple and the graphics equally simple. It barely runs on my pc that has 8gb ram, dedicated graphics. You can get better (and less taxing) graphical chess engines for absolutely free. This graphical chess game is not worth half the money it's listed for, and I wouldn't play it if it were free.

game does not draw when only two kings are left on the board ...

The game works and offers 4 AI levels and offline multiplayer. I purchased this during the Steam Summer Sale because independent game developers take risks and sometimes produce fun low-cost games.

This really is abysmal. The standard for chess played by a PC is pitiful. There are no features like in some other chess games that make it more interesting to compensate for the lack of the basics of any good chess program. I have been playing chess for nearly 40 years now and this sort of standard has no appeal whatsover.
