It is a fully 3D animated, photorealistic interactive chess game with ten difficulty levels when played against the computer.

It can also be played through Windows Media Center, using the remote control provided with TV Tuner Cards, and certain laptops as well.

The statistics can be reset, however, it does not calculate Elo numbers or, since the player can play against the computer, approximations thereof.
