When playing against the computer for the first time, the player is asked to choose the initial level of difficulty Beginner (level 2), Intermediate (level 5), or Advanced (level 8).

Chess Titans keeps a record of how many games have been won, pulled, and lost by the computer at every difficulty level.

In a two-player game, the chessboard automatically turns 180 degrees to the opposing player after every move. This option can be turned off. Chess Titans store all game scores of two players.
