A fun chess game for young and old
What makes Virtual Chess 64 so enjoyable are the 3D animations every time a chess piece is captured. Additionally, this game has a Dutch language setting and includes Dutch tutorials/training. The beginner levels, 3D animations, and Dutch explanations make this game suitable for young beginners. However, for older chess players, this is also a great game. You can turn off the 3D animations and even switch the chess game from 3D to 2D. Furthermore, you have many levels to choose from.

Does what it needs to do, with a funny twist
Well, what can be said about a chess game?

Virtual Chess 64 follows the official rules of the game of chess, and even explains them in a tutorial mode. So, it's a great game to start with, even if you don't know how chess works.

What sets this game apart from other chess games are the cutscenes that occur when the chess pieces make contact with each other.
These are in 3D and often feature very funny animations (For example, a Viking holding a horse in a wrestling hold on the ground).

The only downside to these cutscenes is that they play out very slowly, and capturing a simple chess piece takes quite a bit of time. At first, these animations are very enjoyable, but after a while, they become annoying.
(Fortunately, animations can be turned off)

However, it's a great incentive for younger children to learn the rules of chess better, so they can discover as many funny cutscenes as possible!

Unless you're a real chess champion, it's best to make use of the tutorial in Virtual Chess 64 (which is actually in Dutch). It could have been more extensive, but still nice that they made the effort to include it (and in Dutch, no less).
