Editor review:

Of course if you are a chess fan you can`t miss this Chess3D because it is one of the most spectacular, impressive and excellent chess games you could find.

Chess3D`s level of graphics is exceptional, above all in the animations of each piece (with amazing realism) together with astounding sound effects. The game works really well, with various difficulty levels. You can play two players not just against the PC but also on a LAN. The games can be saved at any time and be restarted where you were when you want to.

Chess3D also comes equipped with magnificent wallpapers and skins to change the appearance for one you like more (not only the decorations but also the pieces). You can even take screenshots of the games and save them in PNG format.

To work correctly you need to previously install DirectX 8.0 or later.
