Chess and the future!

Someone on here kindly gave me the means to install Windows 7 games on Windows 10 quite a while ago. It now no longer works - Windows 10 has had a number of big updates since then.


I am really just whingeing about the demise of the best Chess program (on Windows 7). Yes i still have alaptop with Windows 7 but my main computer is on Windows 10 and Windows 7 won't be supported after 2019. So I could just get out a different laptop to play chess on but want everything on my main computer!


I have tried loads of Chess alternatives. The ones in the Windows 10 app store are all rubbish - not to mention the flashy adverts. An article recommended Giant Chess (not free) which I "donated" to to install. It does look very similar to Windows 7 chess - a familiar look and method of use. However it isnt the same - what made W7 Chess special was the programming. In all other programs I've used - including Giant Chess - the "easy" level is too hard to make it enjoyable. On Windows 7 Chess I enjoyed starting at the easy level, improving and getting gradually up to higher levels. But when the easy level gets you in Checkmate in 2 minutes every time its no fun.


So I give up - there is no replacement for Windows 7 Chess - and I will keep Windows 7 on at least one laptop even after support ends - just for this program - which I love and I know is very popular among many.

Thanks. I installed them from the file I had but they just won't run on Windows 10 now.

Thank you! That did it - I'm happy now. Till it gets broken again!
