High-Res Chess from 94, with slow AI

BC4000, a chess-simulator with -at that time- superb graphics and animations. There was a sticker on the box, warning ppl that this game would only run on the newest gpu, iirc. Ah, those were the days... The game itself.. it´s.. Chess. With animations. They are very well done, but after 30 minutes, you have seen them all and have 2 options: partially switch off animations, or use the quite ugly 2d mode. Biggest con for me is that the ai is slow, like, very slow. Takes up to 1 minute per turn for thinking to fight an easy opponent (me). The AI is supposed to be variable, but I´d have liked it better to just have a setting of XX Elo or something.

4 star except 1 issue

Super fun, exept the computer player takes, like 40 hours to move.
