How To Install Chess Titans In Windows 10
Vernie Montagna
You might like to play chess sometimes, but then you want to try something else. You can install other Windows games like Hearts, Solitaire, and Minesweeper if you choose. These are classics that bring up great memories for many digital gamers.
Please, is this a safe site and version? I am so afraid to download anything anymore, but the el diablo version got good online reviews, and the site here looks good too, but no feedback or anything that worries me.
I was not aware that GNU Chess had levels. You can of course always weaken it a bit by giving it very short thinking time, but this works only to a limited extent. (Like 200 Elo for every factor of 10 time reduction, so that you would need a factor 100,000 to dumb it down by 1000 Elo, which is not practical because th eclock on your computer doesn't 'tick' fast enough to measure such short times.)
I have used SCID and SCID vs. PC in Ubuntu, and I like the latter more, but SCID installs effortlessly right from the Software Center. Critter is a 3000+ engine that is also in the Software Center. I have that latest version of Stockfish and the latest free version of Kumodo working. Stockfish is my go to for annotating games.
you can get oracle virtual box which as it says will set up a virtual computer on your machine in which you can load any operating system that you have. There are some excellent youtube tutorials on how to install and use it. Its not difficult at all. Fred Mellender has some excllent tutorials on how to use, populate and search all kinds of parameters using SCID.
Sounds like a lot of people are trying to install other operating systems to avoid win10 instability? and win updates the cause? If you truly believe that the win 10 platform becomes unstable because of updates? simply stop them. Just google win10 auto updates registry hack. not sure how virtualisation helps? you're still running win10 in its native environment? better to dual boot. but even then? What does dual booting fix exactly? you still haven't solved the initial problem which is the stability issue? antivirus software can also make your environment unstable. especially if ram is limited. feels like this thread is a little confused?
The instability issue was caused by Windows 10. My computer was running Windows 7 and was working fine. Then Micro$oft came along with a pop up window asking if I wanted to run Windows 10. I clicked the "x" on the right hand corner which usually cancels the window. But instead it caused Windows 10 to download. This has been documented throughout the internet. When I restarted my computer it crashed. I had bought this computer as a refurb and it did not come with a Windows disk. I could not get the computer to restart without the disk and was forced to either get a Windows disk for more than 100 smackers or download on another computer Ubuntu. So I got Ubuntu and ran it on the computer that had crashed. A year passed and now I find that there has been no problems with Ubuntu. No instability, no annoying pop ups, no crashes. Ubuntu runs faster and is more stable than Windows ever was. Micro$oft shot themselves in the foot when they tried to take control of everybody's computer. In short, Windows is a virus and Ubuntu is the ideal operating system. I was able to run Lucas Chess and Scid Vs PC on Ubuntu using a free program called "Wine" that comes in the Ubuntu repository. BTW I was also able to run Gnu Backgammon on Wine even tho it wouldn't work on Ubuntu alone. My idea is that all chess players should use Ubuntu, that way we would be able to help each other out with any problems they may be having with running chess programs. Ubuntu is ideal for chess because of its stability which we need in order to be able to store our games and databases. And Ubuntu is ideal for browsing so that we can go to other chess websites and all other sites as well. So to answer your questions, I do not have to stop the updates because I am using Ubuntu LTS which needs no updates, I need no antivirus software, and my ram in my machine is not limited--I have 4 GB--but it is a fact that Ubuntu uses less ram than Windows. My one complaint is their hokey name, instead of Ubuntu they should have called it "Wonderful!"
Windows 7 had a set of nice, beautiful games including the classic card games with new shiny graphics and some great new games from Vista like Chess Titans, Mahjong Titans and Purble Place. For some reason, Microsoft decided to discontinue these games and offers bloated Modern games from the Store instead. For fans of the original Windows 7 games, here is a simple tutorial to revive them on Windows 10.
If you are a fan of the internet games which used to come bundled with Windows, here's how to revive them: How to bring back Windows 7 classic internet games on Windows 8. If you want to find some nice games which are Metro apps, here are 40 free Store games, which includes new ones as well as all-time favorites.
A Microsoft update just de-activated my chosen Win 7 games, and removed my desktop icons. I deleted the old download and re-downloaded from this site, but the application still will not run. When I double click on it or click on open or run as administrator, it just keeps bringing up the install wizard again and again
So happy that I have my Classic solitaire back on my Windows 10! Windows killed it last night during an update, nowhere to be found! They seem to think they own my computer! So this is the second time I have managed to install it against all odds. Thanks!!
I have since managed to do it numerous times without crashing. I guessed it might have something to do with moving the pointer while using CTRL-Z, so I now move the pointer into the taskbar and take my hand off it while undoing.
I solved the null pointer problem this way:
find the real Microsoft games ( it located in program files on C in windows 7) copy it or download the pack from net.
then rename it as Microsoft games2
past it in program files windows 10 ( it will not work if you click on any icon)
reinstall the windows 7 games foe windows 10
and play.
I have the same problem, when using CTR Z Spider works fine on my 2 Desktop Machines running w10, but on my Laptop, it will often crash with null pointer error, but not always!
Look at the other posts I think think may be due to the touch pad, I am going to try disabling it see if that fixes the problem.
While not a fix to the NULL Pointer problem I have found a work around. The problem never seems to occur when using the Games drop down menu to accomplish undo. This is OK for a single undo but cumbersome for multiple undos. To accomplish multiple undos make sure the first one uses the Game menu. You can then use CTRL-Z as often as desired including holding it to repeat.
I just upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and immediately missed my games, especially Chess Titans and Spider Solitaire. I found your website and downloaded the zip file. Norton Software warned me against the file so I came back to your website and checked out the comments and reviews before installing the program. My goodness, it worked flawlessly and immediately right from the start! How easy that was! I got an extra bonus when my statistics for Spider Solitaire were not automatically deleted when I upgraded to Windows 10 and they reappeared the first game I played. So I was able to pick up where I left off without interruption. Thanks very much for your website. Love it!!!
I have click on the link Windows 7 games archive and it goes to another page Mega and starts downloading and gets about 79% and internet explorer stops?. I have google chrome and plenty of storage . The other link does not work. Can you help?

I have had the same thing happen to me twice when I upgraded to the newer Builds of Windows 10 Preview.
The only thing left on my drive for the games are empty directories except for the games names and a file ending in exe.mui. I did reinstall the games again and they are working again.
Microsoft Windows Defender found the following Trojan in the Windows 7 games installer:
HackTool:Win32/Fgdump is a tool used to write files to a remote computer, in a specified share or directory.
Be sure to remove the Trojan before installing.
Just wanted to let you know that I upgraded to Windows 10 Build 10586, reinstalled program and it says Internet Spades blocked by parental controls. I have NO parental controls installed. However, I went back to Windows 10 build 10240 and games work fine. Curious if you tried on build 11082?
I figured out why when you install a newer build to Win10 why games say blocked by parental control. Windows points the icons to C:\Windows.old\Program Files\Microsoft Games\ you just need to point the icons back to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\ and all is fine.
We were getting the null pointer exception in Solitaire undo. Brand new Dell Inspiron i5559-4413SLV with 1033 Win installed prior to install of Games collection. On my old Dell that had the games already install, which was upgraded to win10 RTM, then upgraded to 1033, no issues whatsoever.
thanks a million .I love chess titans but I also love CHESS FUSION in windows 10 But if I have to get it in Windows10 from the MICROSOFT STORE I HAVE TO TAKE ON ALL THESE OTHER APPS I DONT NEED .THESE OTHER APPS INTERFERE WITH THE SYSTEM and how I open up folders I use WINDOWS medie player or veiwer to veiw Documents or Pictures . Iuse ADOBE READER for PDF files .I use GOOGLE CHROME for the internet .Which is the fastest internet brouser in the world . Microsoft should have given away the internet explorer and the Bing bar years ago and done a deal with google chrome .I use AVAST for security the one that works in windows 10. BUT ANYWAY THANKS A MILLION
