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!

    Chess Titans is fun. The other versions of chess that I have tried are not. Please forward our request for Chess Titans for Windows 8 to the appropriate parties!

    This is pretty poor form.  I already don't particularly like the gassy touch/mobile interface, lack of Start button, Program Groups, etc.  You should ALWAYS maintain backward compatibility, especially when it doesn't cost you anything!

    The problem with all the Windows 8 games (and all the other Windows 8 "apps" that you're forced to use) is that they have no ability to work within a, er, WINDOW.  I have a big monitor, and don't want to fill the whole dang thing up with a game.  I want to run Chess Titans, Spider Solitaire, etc., in one window while I do other things in other windows.  That's why I purchased an operating system called WINDOWS.

    This isn't Fullscreen Bloat 8.  Or is it?

    Please fix this.  The best answer would be an official "Windows 7 compatibility kit" that allows familiar Start button behavior, installs the Windows NT/7 games, and a few other things.  As much as it would make me grind my teeth, I'd probably pay for it.  Although you should be ashamed to take my money.
