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!

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? 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 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.

I was a big Chess Titans fan and also was destroyed over the past 1 1/2 years as I upgraded to Win 8 with no Chess Titans and no comparative alternative.
BUT, about 2 weeks ago in the Win 8 Store, I did find a suitable alternative: Its called "3D Chess Game" by A Trillion Games Limited and is free, and you can also pay small amount to upgrade to Plus. Either way, the game is very close in 'look n feel' to Chess Titans. Its not exactly the former, but close enough--I'm happy with it and using it.
All you suffering Chess Titan fans should check it out.
I tried 3D Chess Game, but really didn't care for it. I've found "The Chess LV.100" game is OK, but it is nowhere near as good as Titans.

Your choice, of course, but I can assure you that I've followed the
instructions on the web site I pointed out on several machines. They
worked well and they created no catastrophic consequences.

I have looked at demos of both Rybka and Fritz and the graphics appear pitiful compared to Chess Titans.
Perhaps so, but as far as I'm concerned, what the graphics look like
is a very minor point compared to how well it plays. But it's your
choice.
I believe many former Chess Titans users would be quite willing to shell out bucks for it IF it was available in the App Store.
I posted this earlier in the thread, but I'll repeat it here: Chess
Titans is not in Windows 8. However you can put it there. See
http://www.howtogeek.com/122145/what-happened-to-solitaire-and-minesweeper-in-windows-8/
There are quite a few people involved in this Thread, which means there are countless others who may want Chess Titans also. So I have to ask myself just WHY Microsoft is so unwilling to add it to the App Store. Perhaps you can provide a simple answer to that question?
