[edit] Gameplay
The game can be played with either a mouse or any gamepad like a PlayStation 3 or a Xbox 360 controller for Windows. It can also be played through Windows Media Center, using the remote control provided with TV Tuner Cards, and certain laptops as well.
[edit] Player vs. computer
Players can play against the computer after selecting the computer skill in a scale from 1 to 10. After a move is made by the computer, the player can view the last move. When clicking on a chess piece, Chess Titans selects all possibilities for that move, which helps the player in playing Chess. This option can also be turned off.
[edit] Player vs. player
In a 2-player game, the chess board automatically turns 180 degrees, after a player has made its move. Chess Titans saves all scores of 2-player games.
