Avid chess fan and haven't had time to play the chess in windows 7. Is it any good. How do you like the graphics? They looked difficult to see on my screen?

It looks good but I have not been able to concentrate on the game as I have had troubles with Fallout 3 and cannot play until I finish my business with that game because I cannot concentrate until I have release.
IMO, it's one of the best 3D chess games available. I'm a very novice chess player, so being able to "beat" the computer at this game is a very rewarding accomplishment for me as I've had my *** handed to me too many times by chess computers over the years where I've been totally turned off by the game. I like that it has several levels you can progress through.
I've downloaded several trial-ware chess games and I don't think any of them can hold a candle to the graphics of this game. I know there probably are some that look better, but at least it doesn't cost you anything extra with this game. I never installed Vista so I guess I missed out on the game.
the only novelty in chess was the moderately fun "Battlechess" series...which made the most boring game after minesweeper interesting for a few days..although the same tactics...you were given a nice combat battle between pieces when taking them....often funny in the style of monty pythons holy grail..
