Where's Chess Titans in Windows 8?

Debbie obviously is not a chess player. I tried most of what is in the store. None is up to Chess Titans specially not in graphics. What is obvious is that Microsoft is trying to market substandard chess games.

Does any one know how to get Titans back or even buy it from the "store"?

Have you tried **Chess 3D** on Windows 8? It is pretty much the same thing:

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?

This is a peer support forum. We are all just users of this version of
Windows here, helping each other if and when we can. We are not
Microsoft employees (not even those of us with "Microsoft MVP" (Most
Valuable Professional) behind our names; that's an honorary title for
having provided consistently helpful advice) except for an occasional
Microsoft contractor or employee.

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'm not as upset as you are, but although I do very little computer
game playing, I agree that Microsoft should have kept all those
Windows 7 games in Windows 8.
However, once again, if you want the games back, it's very easy to
get them.

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.

Your choice entirely.

As I said,  I don't like Chess Titans at all, but if you really want
it back, you can get it into Windows 8. See

Hi Ken.

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.
