Where's Chess Titans in Windows 8?
There doesn't seem to be any Microsoft games installed be default.

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!

Please stop posting a link about Solitaire and Minesweeper. Those games do indeed work when copied from a WIN7 machine, however Chess Titans does not.
What you say is definitely not correct. As I've said, I've done this
on several machines, and it does work.
One of the machines I've done it on is the Windows 8 machine. I'm
writing this message on it. I just started up Chess Titans here, and
played a game against it, which I won very easily.
Please offer a real solution.
And to tell the truth, I don't think people care about your opinion of what you don't like. The rest of us just want Chess Titans back: one click, no signin needed, and simple.
That's fine. You are welcome to prefer whatever you want. Your choices
don't have to be the same as mine. But...
And I looked at Rybka and Fritz, and I thought my old Chessmaster program was better, quite honestly.
... if you think Chessmaster or Chess Titans plays better than Fritz
or Rybka, I suggest that you have Chessmaster or Chess Titans play
against Fritz or Rybka. You will quickly find out which plays better.
I'm not a betting man, but if I were, I would wager any amount of
money you cared to that either Fritz or Rybka could easily beat Chess
Titans or Chessmaster.

Hi Ken!
Thanks for answering my question in such an unprofessional way
Your statement about Chess Titans being very poor is as good as me saying that you don´t know anything about playing chess! But that is your feeling as much as THIS is my feeling. If I am a car salesman, why would I want you to buy a Ford if you wish to have a Chevrolet? As far as I am concerned, and my 70 year old experience tells me that you have a long way to go to make such statements, Chess Titans is a Rolls Royce to many of us, compared to the rest of the games in the net which are nothing but Volkswagen. END OF CONVERSATION!
