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!

    My view is very different. I don't know how good a chess player you
    are, but if you have some skill, you will probably find Chess Titans
    to be a poor choice. It doesn't play well at all. Two much better
    choices are Fritz and Rybka.

    There are two extremely hilarious bugs that I found twice each which I don't know how to replicate:

    Sometimes, the computer will allow me to capture the enemy King without ending the game. I believe that the game will continue to break itself further (I don't remember how) as the game is played.

    Sometimes, the computer will attempt to make an illegal move with it's king over and over, and it will display the "invalid move" tooltip (if enabled) in the corner.

    Yes, please create chess titans for windows 8.  If not, I may have to uninstall my Windows 8 and reinstall Windows 7.

    You can do what you like, but I found this almost matches: http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/33814-Microsoft-Games-for-Windows-8

    It is all the Titan's games. Chess has a few issues, like not being touch-screen compatible, but it works otherwise. Hope this helps,
