Absolut Chess, there are many other chess software like it but this one has to things better then the others : The visuals ( stunning 3D) and amazing sound quality. Many whom played this sim deemed the lighting to dark but that can be fixed via adjusting the options. You can play in fullscreen mode but that takes out some of the useful grids, like the one that displays the moves and what the AI is planning. Though the program makes no attempt to teach a new player the rules or help him out. Some people would like to have the ability to change the background. But if your a true chessplayer you won’t care and will happy about the three different opponents the program offers. Three might sound not much but they all do different moves. If your tired of the comp, you can test yourself against other players online.
