Chess²

Chess 2 (or Chess²) is a chess game developed by Microsoft and bundled with Windows 10. It is a fully animated, photorealistic interactive game with only 1 difficulty level; Difficult². It can be played with just one player against the computer. Microsoft has said that the game "is a sequel to Chess". Chess 2 was created as a joke and can only be played by opening a file in Chess Titans.Chess 2 can be found in the files of Chess Titans, a game that comes with Windows 10. By opening a folder within the game simply known as "game", you can see a application that is titled "hard". By clicking on this, you will be able to play Chess 2.

Chess 2 cannot be beaten. You can only beat the game by changing the number of "points" you have to 100 (a feature in the game). Even if you do this, you will be greeted with a notepad document reading "nice try". The game and the notepad document will then close.

Chess 2 has 1 difficulty level, Difficult 2 (or Difficult²). This level is just player vs computer, with the only differences being that you cannot move any piece manually; as the game is designed to make you lose. You can only play as black, and cannot switch. The game cannot be played with a mouse, arrow keys, or WASD, as, once again, you cannot do anything in the game.

In addition to the point system, which you can gain a point by just moving a piece, there are new pieces, such as the "soldier", the "man", and "jester". The game is now played with a 64 by 64 board, and, according to Microsoft, "has lore". This lore is yet to be discovered, however this is most likely a joke, as the entire game was meant to be a joke.
