Chess Titans Very Hard to Beat at Higher Levels

[A.Jenery]

I've been playing Chess Titans for yonks with the difficulty level set to 5 and manage to achieve about 75% statistics in my favour; so won't claim I always win, but other day I tried playing it at level 8 and I just got comprehensively beat every time.  So I'm thinking only strongest players could win against it regularly at the higher levels settings.  My take is that CT is a very strong chess game at lvl 8 or higher!

Very!  At those level settings it's as good as any commercial chess prog and you need a bit of patience as it takes a few mins to think through it's move!

Yep it takes a while at higher settings so I went back to level 5.

That's good by my standards.  Level 4's about my limit.

It's a shame chess titans doesn't have some sort of match-play mode where you can't re-do moves - aka cheating.   Otherwise you could have mini competitions.

Nice idea, although players would have to be watched closely to stop them quitting the prog if they're losing and then starting it again.

Very closely indeed.  You'd have to have the tables and chairs arranged in rows with someone monitoring behind each row of players.  I don't think CT keeps a log of games played.

Doesn't keep a log of moves played either, so games would certainly have to be watched very closely.

Also how would apply time limits to moves?  There's no game clocks in CT so games could take ages.

I think it's a given then that you couldn't have CT tourney's.
