No, Chess Titans is a free game that comes pre-installed on all computers that have Windows 7

In terms of gameplay, this wouldn't change anything. Nevertheless it might affect how the game looks. For a start, many people place the king and queen with the rule that the queen goes on her own colour. If black is not in the left hand corner at the start of the game, then king and queen would be switched, which could be confusing for people who have played many games with them the proper way around.

Because if you play with a white square on the left side, the locations of the white / black bishops on each side will be reversed. Also the King and Queen will be reversed. This will can confuse experienced players who are used to them being where they are. Additionally, if inexperienced players switch back and forth on which orientation they play in, they won't develop the white / black intuition that you get from playing on a consistent board orientation.

there is a systematic relation between them

In real life, pawns are the foot soldiers, the expendables - hence in chess, they tend to be the smallest and least impressive looking pieces.

64 pawns upon a 64 square chessboard - one pawn per square .

If by "retain" you mean "acquire," then, yes. In fact, you can gain any extra chess piece by getting a pon safely across the board. Some people think you can only use this action to gain a queen, but in fact, any piece can be acquired by getting your pon to your opponent's side of the board. However, in some games, you cannot change your pon to a rook even if it is across the board if both your rooks are still active and have not been killed.

You would keep on playing until one side checkmates, one side resigns, there is an insufficient amount of material to checkmate, one side is stalemated, fifty moves pass without a pawn move or capture, or the same position occurs 3 times. Note that checkmating or a resignation by the opponent are the only ways to win, anything else is a draw. Additional rules can apply in an official tournament but these are the basics.

There is a place called Black Knight Games on Ottawa & Mowhawk.

They identify each individual square - as seen from the players perspective. They are especially useful when replaying a game.

Yes, you can move in any direction, but be sure there is some logic to the arrangement.

Yes. Logos or pictures of chess pieces can be copyrighted. For instance, the book covers of "Battlefield of the Mind" by Joyce Meyer or "Breaking Dawn" by Stephanie Meyer display chess pieces, and are copyrighted.

All Chess pieces are subject to the same time limits - a pawn is no exception .

There are quite a few ways to preform a 3 move checkmate.

1. e2e4 e7e5 2. qh5 ke7 3. qxe5#.

You can also do a reversed colors Fool's Mate.

1. e2e4 f6f7 2. nc3 g7g5 3. qh5#.

(Note: That move 2. nc3 is optional, and can be replaced by anything that doesn't interfere with the queen moving to h5)

Queens can move across any number of unoccupied spaces arranged in a straight line or a diagonal line and can take the player that ends that line. Queens cannot jump.

The opening "Four-knights" is a variation of "King's Pawn Game", in which both players have equal control of the center and a lot of possibilities to continue the game.

The move sequence is 1. e2e4, e7e5, 2. nf3, nc6 3. nc3, nf6. a possible continuation would be 4. bc4, nxe4. Which is the Italian variation, from here white could play 5. nxe4 which black would respond with d7d5, forking the bishop and the knight.

White could also play 5. bxf7+, kxf7 and then 6. nxe4, d7d5. Keeping the material even and sacrificing the center to open black's kingside.
