Hi, I'm a casual chess player. I loved the Chessmaster series for the graphics, the sound options, the personalities, the advice, and the puzzles.
I'm looking for a chess game with a more casual style where I can see a variety of 3-D boards, backgrounds, and pieces, listen to music and realistic piece sounds, and select from a variety of opponents. I want all the bells and whistles. There are a massive number of 2D games that focus almost exclusively on the engine, but I'm not pretending I can beat a modern engine in hard mode. I want the most enjoyable learning/playing experience, not hardcore beat-you-in-10-moves barebones.
What software do I want?
