Hi RobbieCharles,

If you take a look in the Store, there are several Chess games available there. 

You can go to your Start screen by either clicking in the bottom left hand corner or pressing the Windows key, then go to the Store app. 

Once in the Store, you can then search for apps by pressing Windows key + C and click Search in the Charms bar, and search for Chess games from there.

Hope this helps!

    Even if you can find a copy of Chess Titans and you installed it in Windows 8 you would be breaking the terms of your Windows 8 release. As stated elsewhere there are chess games in the store, Also there is MSN games witch I use, and several are available from the Internet.

    I feel the best way to enjoy these games though if you have a full version of XP, Vista or Windows 7 and it is not being used I would a software such as Virtual Box, Hyper-V and in stall your operating System in Virtual mode. That way you can have legal access to you r Chess Titans.

    Hope this helps and if you need further assistance post and we will be glad to Help you.

    Debbie obviously is not a chess player. I tried most of what is in the store. None is up to Chess Titans specially not in graphics. What is obvious is that Microsoft is trying to market substandard chess games.

    Does any one know how to get Titans back or even buy it from the "store"?

    Have you tried **Chess 3D** on Windows 8? It is pretty much the same thing:

    Dear Mr. Blake:

    Thank you for your prompt reply. Since this site is answer.microsoft.com, I thought you might work for the company. I guess you're just a Most Valuable Player?

    This is a peer support forum. We are all just users of this version of
    Windows here, helping each other if and when we can. We are not
    Microsoft employees (not even those of us with "Microsoft MVP" (Most
    Valuable Professional) behind our names; that's an honorary title for
    having provided consistently helpful advice) except for an occasional
    Microsoft contractor or employee.

    At any rate, since the site is associated with MS, perhaps some corporate flunky will one day monitor the site and discover there are those of us who are upset over the loss of Chess Titans. It won't do any good, of course.

    I'm not as upset as you are, but although I do very little computer
    game playing, I agree that Microsoft should have kept all those
    Windows 7 games in Windows 8.
    However, once again, if you want the games back, it's very easy to
    get them.

    I looked at the howtogeek site and really feel the same as RobynStephens feels about the site. In the meantime I guess I'll stick with "The Chess LV.100" game.

    Your choice entirely.
