Hi guys,
Back in the 90s I used to love and play Power Chess (and later Power Chess 98) by Sierra. Loved the queen, and how she analyses and gives hints on your games.
Short of GOG porting it to modern PCs (or me running a VM and installing Win95), I'm looking for something similar today, that I can play on modern PCs with Win10 etc etc. I have been looking at offerings on Steam, for example, and it seemed like Fritz comes the closest with its "friend mode", but I don't want to drop $39.95 on it and then finding out it's not what I'm looking for.
Yeah I don't like the other kinds where they have huge databases and install 6 different MS utilities along with the "game" to analyse games. So Chessmaster is not really what I'm looking for.
3D whizz-bang graphics is a plus, but not really necessary (but then again modern chess games would show the board in 3D anyway). I'm really looking for a "power chess queen" replacement...
Anyone has any suggestions?
