Item Description
Chess on a console built for Mario and Turok sounds like an odd fit, until a capture on the 3D board kicks off a little battle cutscene and the idea starts to make sense. Virtual Chess 64, the third and final entry in Titus's Virtual Chess series, brought a serious chess engine to the N64 in 1998 and surrounded it with options for both beginners and seasoned players.
You can play on a 3D board, turning the view with the C buttons, or switch to one of four 2D sets for a clean, tournament-style layout. On the 3D board, captures play out as short battle animations that can be switched off or limited to one viewing per capture type once the novelty fades. Piece and board designs are customizable, you can highlight the last move, and a setup option lets you add or remove pieces to study a position of your own.
The engine is the real draw. Its strength depends on how much time it is given to think, from quick replies at the default level to long deliberation at the top setting, and a Meditation option lets it keep analyzing while you ponder your move. Newcomers get an interactive tutorial that walks through the basics, tactical puzzles, Fool's mate and Scholar's mate, common checkmate patterns and example openings, middlegames and endgames. Two-player games and engine-versus-engine exhibitions round it out.
Reviewers praised the feature depth, the strong AI and the tutorial while grumbling about the 3D board's awkward angles, and that is a fair guide: play seriously in 2D and save the 3D board for show. On a system packed with shooters and platformers, it is a thoughtful change of pace that rewards as much time as you want to give it.
