Designed for Training

When seeking to improve one's ability at playing chess, this game acts as an aid. Both during the game and once it has ended, players are free to go back and review moves. To test the results of different strategies, players can go all the way back to the beginning and make changes from there. By facing against a difficult computer and utilizing the ability to go back, players can learn more effective strategies to win games. Users are also free to test out different ideas and see how they perform while playing a real game.

Beautiful Design

While many of today's chess games are somewhat backward in design, Chess 2013 is both visually appealing as well as functional. Players are free to customize a wide range of design options from the colors to the pieces to the board. Users can also change the general background and the animations used for the pieces. Those with older computers can use the settings to disable some of the more advanced graphical settings to make the game perform well.

Advanced Features

Chess 2013 includes what it calls the "Evolution Panel", which helps users keep track of actions taking place. This panel allows for a clear overview of the advantages of each team, where these advantages take place, and the projected outcome of the game. Players looking to enhance their skills can thus use the Evolution Panel for an extra challenge by finding games where the player starts out at a disadvantage. Chess players able to overcome an opponent even when at a disadvantage will be able to perform better at chess when the game gets tough.
