The Chess Lv.100 for Windows 8

User Reviews

• Interesting game, but cheats like a demon!

  11/19/2014

  Pros

  Realistic play, good graphics, interesting tactics.

  Cons

  CHEATS! The game will declare a stalemate when it is checkmated. In Rating mode, this will cost you anywhere from ten to twelve rating points. The game will also not move the piece you've selected to where you want to move it to, or it will stop it short of your selected square. The game will move its rooks diagonally, have its pawns capture pieces which are not in a capture position, allow the game's queen to jump, allow its king to capture a piece which is directly in front of it, all the while denying the human player these advantages. BEWARE!!! If you play actual chess, the cheating of this game will frustrate you to no end!

  Summary

  Useful for developing tactics for real chess, but the way the software cheats and violates established chess rules will frustrate and anger you. Good only when you have a hard time finding a real opponent.
