Subject: Chess Titans freeware on Vista and Kasparovs in-flight chess program
|
In Microsoft Vista OS there is a free game is called "Chess Titans",
which, at the highest level, even a class C player can regularly
beat. And the crummy program doesn't even allow you to save games, it
just tracks how many games you've won. What a joke. 3D graphics are
nice however. Likewise for Kasparov's sponsored program that you find
on some Boeing 777 airplanes--even at the highest level a class B
player can easily win.
An example of how computers can be dumbed down to satisfy their human
masters.

I am with Vista Home Premium and there is Chess Titans Game. May be
there is a difference between Premium and others type of Vista OS.
I am agree - Chess Titans is for kids! :) If you wonna strong program
- get Ftitz (paid) or Arena with Sparky (free).

Strange, but my OS came with backgammon, checkers,
reversi and several others, but not chess. There is
obviously a conspiracy, since I would get slaughtered by
a computer in any of those games, but in chess, I have
few equals (Rob Mitchell, Sanny, and maybe IM Innes).
