Gameplay

The game can be played with either a mouse or Xbox 360 controller for Windows. It can also be played through Windows Media Center, using the remote control provided with TV Tuner Cards, and certain laptops as well.

Player vs. Computer

Players can play against the computer after selecting the computer skill in a scale from 1 to 10. After a move is made by the computer, the player can view the last move. When clicking on a chess piece, Chess Titans selects all possibilities for that move, which helps the player in playing Chess. This option can also be turned off.

The Castling Bug

There is a bug in Chess Titans that allows the computer (at least) to castle through a check. This is illegal. There are other bugs reported, such as the computer making extra moves, allowing capture of the computer's king and then continuing the game.

Player vs. Player

In a 2-player game, the chess board automatically turns 180 degrees, after a player has made its move. Chess Titans saves all scores of 2-player games.
