Power Chess is a chess-playing video game originally released in September 1996 by Sierra On-Line for the Microsoft Windows 95 operating system.

[2][3] Its chess engine is "Wchess" by David Kittinger, which played against Deep Blue in the 1995 World Computer Championship in Hong Kong.

Power Chess had two major innovations: the program would adjust its level during the game trying to match that of the player (presaging Chessbase Fritz's Friend Mode).

Players can also create their own characters with differing gameplay styles and difficulty.

[5] A collection of famous games is included for review and study, each one narrated turn-by-turn by the Queen.
