Today, you can still play this old classic on the PC. Battle Chess is just that—chess. There are no variations on the game. The rules are the same as they have been for centuries. The only thing that was new or different in this classic was that the chess pieces walked around, and fought to the death when a piece was taken. Each of the animations in the game are unique.
If a rook takes the queen for example, he devours her. These animations alone can add extra entertainment, as you work to try and play the game in such a way that you can see all the different animations.

Nothing is as much fun as watching these little bricks come to life and kick the living daylights out of each other. Every fight is unique and ingenious in its own way. My personal favourite is when the King uses his royal staff as a baseball bat and launches a bomb towards the Knight.
The expression on the Knight's face is indescribable. On the gaming side, it also has a very good AI, so you get a good challenge from the game even if you are a champ. That is actually all there is to say.
It's chess with animation - but we all LOVE it! Battle Chess for Windows is a little-known Windows version of Interplay's classic chess game.
