Comments: The thing I love about this game is that it "humanize" playing chess with a PC. I love the way it simulates human players. It seems to play with real human beings, each with his character traits. Also, I like the possibility to play both in a window or full screen (ideal for office sessions). Some minor cons: it lacks the possibility to save played games in PGN notation (useful to import and study the game in some other Chess programs).

A great, enjoyable Chess game. (Not to mention its affordable price!)
