The problems I’ve had is that everything I’ve tried either doesn’t seem to like the steam deck, or the controls don’t work, or i would need to play it in the browser from desktop.
I’m the kind of player who isn’t very good, wants to play against the computer, and usually I just want to fire up a saved game when I’ve finished my real gaming, make a couple of moves, and save the game until next day. If it takes a lot of faff with desktop, graphics settings, etc - I just wouldn’t end up using it.
I guess I’m just a little surprised I’ve not found something simple and steam deck verified. Thanks for your suggestions, I’ll check em out!
I am not a big chess but, but I just gave “The Chess” a quick spin. To me, controls seem good, you use the right touchpad as mouse and the tight trigger as your mouse button.
Thanks, it actually looks like just what I’ve been looking for - but for the lacking load/save thing. I’ll give it a try after work tomorrow and see how it goes. Cheers!
