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!

If you are saying that they have to be rented, that's not correct.
They can be bought.
Windows 7 is a very competitive game for the everyday chess player. If you are an IM then, whatever,
I am far from an IM. 55 years ago when I was an active tournament
player, I used to be around 2000 (USCF Rating). I'm considerably
weaker these days.
but Win7 Chess Titans cost nothing
True. But as far as I'm concerned, something being free isn't enough.
It's only good to have if it's free and good.
and it is a 10 level nice practice game. with Win7 there is no hassle, no login, no nothing, JUST ME and MY chess board!
Your choice, of course. In my view, although it's free, Chess Titans
plays poorly and Rybka and Fritz are much better, and therefore worth
their cost.
Microsoft needs to give us a link to download what we have already paid for!!!!We, who combined have made them Billions and Billions are only asking for them to give us back what they took away...on an upgrade.... We paid them to take away what we already purchased. We your customers would like the game pack back that came with Vista and 7.. IS THAT PLAIN ENOUGH? With a few key strokes YOU (Microsoft) can provide your customers with the link.
Thank you.....

It is disappointing that Chess Titans is missing in Windows 8. I feel why I got Windows 8.
You can put it back. Read here:

But note that as far as I'm concerned, Chess Titans is a very poor
program. There are several that play much better, such as Rybka and
Fritz.
For one, the first thing you see in Rybka and Fritz is the word RENT. Windows 7 is a very competitive game for the everyday chess player. If you are an IM then, whatever, but Win7 Chess Titans cost nothing and it is a 10 level nice practice game. with Win7 there is no hassle, no login, no nothing, JUST ME and MY chess board! It is definitely better than all those in websites around the web as far as I'm concerned.
PS: I lasted Igor Ivanov 35 moves.
