Chess Titans

Hi there, i installed my brand new copy of windows vista, and played the
chess game that's included, but it's got a option "play against another
person".
can this be done over the internet...?

Nope, there's no network functionality in the included games.

Hi,

I think I found a bug in "chess titans" game. I had my pawn at F4 and this
pawn threated the computer's queen which was at G5. There was a pawn at E5
that was belong to computer as well which was near my pawn. Although that
pawn did not have a chance to attack my pawn, it made its move to F3 and got
my pawn with a move which was impossible.

I was playing at level 10 as black against the computer.

>>I think I found a bug in "chess titans" game.

probably not (although this program is quite weak)

>>I had my pawn at F4 and this pawn threated the computer's queen which

a pawn on f4 threatening a piece on g5 (or e5) is a WHITE pawn, you
couldn't be playing as BLACK against the computer

>>There was a pawn at E5 that was belong to computer as well which was
near my pawn.

OK

>>Although that pawn did not have a chance to attack my pawn

false : a black pawn on e5 attacks f4 (and d4)

>>it made its move to F3 and got my pawn with a move which was
impossible.

true : such a move is completely impossible, only a normal capture
(e5xf4) seems to be avaible here. but the whole problem is that black's
pawn was certainly on e4, where you thought it couldn't take your pawn
on f4 (which you had just moved 2 squares ahead). this is not a bug and
indeed called capturing "en passant"

>>I was playing at level 10 as black against the computer.

If you were really playing black, you had just moved c7-c5 (attacking
the queen on b4) and white's pawn was on d5.

This has happened in more than one game? Can you give an example?

I've played it some and never notice that.

Google for en passant in case that is what you are seeing.

Chess Titans is only included in versions higher then Basic from what I
understand. It was created in co-operation with Oberon Games.
