Absolut Chess

Editors' ReviewDownload.com staffAugust 24, 2015All said, this chess sim strikes us as a worthwhile pick. Absolut Chess's 3D graphics and neat sound effects are more polished than we would have guessed initially. However, by default the game is rather dark, which makes it tough to see individual pieces. Thankfully, you can correct this by adjusting the brightness to your liking. You also can disable the sound effects, play in full-screen mode, and take back your own blunders. Still, we would like a feature for choosing from different boards, and a tutorial or rules would be beneficial to beginners. Though the game provides you with three formidable computerized opponents, you also can play against another human or compete in online matches. Experienced players who don't find the 10-use trial period unreasonable are likely to find that Absolut Chess makes a better choice than many similar games.
