Virtual Chess 64 is a Nintendo 64 puzzle strategy game built around full chess play against computer or human opponents. It distinguishes itself with a chess engine that adapts across multiple skill levels, plus animated medieval and Viking-style piece battles.
- Cleaned, tested, and guaranteed to play. Authentic cartridge.
- 14 difficulty levels allow matches to range from casual practice to more demanding tactical games.
- Over 60 real-time 3D animations add comical character clashes between pieces during play.
- Grandmaster Titus the Fox provides an interactive chess tutorial for learning rules and strategy.
- Simultaneous play supports up to four games at once, including player-versus-computer and player-versus-player setups.
The Virtual Chess engine won the 1996 and 1997 World Microcomputer Chess Championship Professional category and the 1995 Harvard Cup. An “Artificial Stupidity” option can make the computer intentionally slip, giving the Nintendo 64 version an unusual training aid for chess practice.
