If you're playing against the computer it's always going to be able to evaluate hundreds more positions per second than you can ? so what's the point of trying to out-do it on time? Some will disagree with that and perhaps point out that games involving grand masters v computers are always timed ? and the computer doesn't always win. The game doesn't have any time controls but for me that's a mute point anyway. If you have the conventional chessboard displayed it can also be used to move the pieces in exactly the same way as with the 3-D board ? or by dragging and dropping. E.g., you can show/hide the move list, the captured pieces etc., if you want/don't want them visible. At any time during a game you can call up the sub-menu and change some of the game's settings. Pressing the keyboard escape key brings up a sub-menu. When you first start up the game, in addition to the 3-D chessboard, you'll see a small conventional chessboard, plus a window for displaying captured pieces, along with a window for the move list. You just left-click the piece you want to move and right-click the square you want to move it to ? job's done. The interface, in fact, is quite easy to navigate and the pieces are very easy to move. However, I decided to download the free trial anyway ? and I'm very glad that I did so.
My reason for doing so is that, at first, I was put off from trying this game by a couple of the more negative reviews to be found here. I've never written a review before but decided to give it a go.
