Chess Titan

Can I play chess on my computor?

Only when it is laying on its side


haha, just kidding. If you mean you have Vista and you don't see Chess
Titans in your list of games- do you have the other built-in games, such as
solitare? You may have a version of Vista that doesn't have it built-in, or
perhaps it was never installed. Check the Add/Remove Windows programs in the
control panel

If thats not it, send some more details.


Hope that helps!

Na, but you can get Chessmaster 10th Anniversary Edition for like $19.99 or
less. Oh, there's an 11th year version available at ubisoft for the same
price. Sounds like a good game, they also have a version on XBLA (Xbox live
arcade) if you have an xbox 360.

Every time I try moving my pawns forward two steps, i get taken by the
opposing pawns which they are not within a killing reach.

For example: my two White-pawn on c2 and d3, and the computer Black-pawn on
d4 and the queen right behind the pawn on d5

Is that possible, is that a bug or is it just me??????

I have taken screenshots before and after for an expert to look at.

It's a legal move - Google "en passant".

If using that two-squares-on-first-move rule for a pawn puts you past an
opposing pawn that could have taken you, then that pawn may *on its next
move* take your pawn as if you'd only advanced one square.

This question comes up every 2-3 weeks, it's hilarious, but I understand
why people would post about it, this move is just not talked about much
unless you really play chess a lot.

Tons of web pages talk about it, there's a good write-up on Wikipedia.
