The battles were indeed great fun in this chess game, and I tried every possible combination of battle, to see all the different death sequences, and they're really great fun.

If you are a real chess player, you might chose the 2D view to play, as did my father when playing. After you've seen all battle combos, you definitely don't play any longer, unless you consider playing normal chess.

I for myself loved the game for its funny sequences, but didn't enjoy playing chess, as I preferred to play against a real human opponent. I was more addicted to Archon, where you could at least fight your battles, instead of only watching them. But that's just how chess is.

I remember playing Battle Chess quite a bit. Not only because of the graphics, but also because I've always found chess interesting. Trying out tactics against the compauter AI is a good way of prepearing against a human opponent. Now that I read the review, I'm actually tempted at giving this game a go again. After all, it was my favourite chess game on the Amiga.

Thumbs up for Battle Chess!

Hah! Battle Chess is still my preferred chess-game. I've tried several more recent games on PC and PS2, but none are as entertaining as this one!
