Chess Titans

So I can't download Chess Titans as a single game?

In Chess Titans,

Shouldnt the game be counted as a win when your opponent
cant move any piece rather then making the game a draw?

Ofc, im not that familiar with the actual chess rules but it would
seem to me that if you manage to box in your opponent so he
cant move it should be counted as a win.

I fully agree with your comment! By the way, if boxing in your enemy is a
draw, what must one do to win in the game?

Every time I want to quit chess titans a "Do you want to save" message
appears. Is there a way to remove this?

if u quit a game in middle of the game asks if u want to save as else it
will assume u forefeit the game (lost)
if u dont want the game to ask you goto options and select always save game
on exit upon relaunchin it will ask new game or to continue old. :) Check
Mate!

Cheers,
Umesh.

> Yes i know i actually came here to ask this question. I captured the king all aound so it couldnt make a move and it said it was a draw. I dont know all chess rules so please can someone explain, if that is a draw then how do I win the game??

If in the position you are talking about, the King is NOT in check(under attack) and has no legal move then the game is a Stalemate(Draw). To win you must have the king in check with no way for him to get out of check.
This is a good website to learn the basics Chess is Fun( http://www.princeton.edu/~jedwards/cif/intro.html ).

I'm finding myself in the position that I'm not in check, but still seem to
lose the game, rather than draw???

I came to this discussion board because the Chess Titans is doing the same
thing to my pawns. It does it in any level, not just 10; I noticed it first
at level 2.

Also, when I win by checkmate, which the computer announces on the screen,
"congratulations you won by checkmate," 50% of the time the statistics show I
had a draw.

Has anybody found solutions to these situations?

It's been a long time since I played Chess, and in fact it is "en passant"
that is occurring. Also, regarding the draws when the computer says I won by
checkmate, it is possible that the same moves have been done three times. (I
replied to the post ganesh957 replied to, experiencing en passant and adding
the draw statistic when I won by checkmate.)

Hi your lucky doesn't matter how many times i win by checkmate always says
this game has been counted as a draw. I dont think the creators like people
beating there game lol.

What was MSFT's goal including Chess Titans?

Even at its highest level, it is an awful player.

Free.... FREE! Say it with me.... FREE!

Try Chessmaster or something, I heard that game usually gives you a decent
run for your money (usually less than $19). Google it.
