Real Chess 3D for Pc

It is visually a very pretty game. But at playing chess (which is the point after all), it is just awfully weak. It doesn’t seem to recognize some immediate threats like uncovered checks, etc. Playing against the lowest level of the weakest of my other Mac chess programs, like the now discontinued “Chess Deluxe” by Mastersoft --(which was good until El Capitan but doesn’t work under Sierra or High Sierra)— it loses, and fast (in 28 one-second moves!), even though playing at this app’s highest level (“Hard”). Chess Deluxe by Mastersoft should not be confused with the current “Chess Deluxe” being offered in the App Store which is an even more catastrophically weak game than this one. The sad realization is that very good computer chess programs for the Mac platform don’t seem to be as available as they used to be. The fabulous Chessmaster 9000 by Feral Interactive (or Ubisoft) barely runs anymore under High Sierra. It does have an unofficial version that fixes a screen display issue that surfaced in High Sierra, but its prospects for the future are bleak because there is no upgrade available and future OS X upgrades may break it for good. Makes me sad. The Mac needs excellent chess apps that keep up with the times and OS X upgrades. I haven’t run across any yet. For example, a Fritz-style version for the Mac would be great.

I complained about pawn converting to inferior piece - Company was prompt in pointing out my mistake in game set up - I withdraw my one star review about cheating cpu - I like the game.

The app works great and the interface is beautiful. They really should develoe two things: the progressive difficulty, adjusting automatically as you play, and rating the games. Secondly the game is lacking anything for learning chess. A huge lack in such an app. If you want to play chess with a friend and you are together this app will do great. Everything else needs further development.

It’s visually a great game, but the levels are too extreme. They need more levels with just a number value. The first level is easy, as stated, but the next level is not gradual, and has too much difficulty. They need to make more levels that are gradual. It would be good to have 10 levels that are just numbered for strength.
