I am a huge Chess fan. I play at least one game of Chess a day. I collect Chess sets. I find it a fantastic game for focusing the mind and a great game of attacking, defending, strategising and planning.While I do collect Chess sets, when it comes to the game itself, particlary on a computer, flashy gimiky pieces which round around and do crazy stunts as they move and attack are good for the occasional game, but I find they tend to distract from the gameplay and so very seldom use them, usually playing with the standard Chess pieces sets.I stumbled onto this game completely by accident. I didn't know anything about it, didn't even know it was in development, until I saw a YouTube video showing it off.After looking at the video I liked what I saw so I ordered the game. A week later it was in my hands and I installed it on my PC.From the video, I saw animated Chess pieces attacking eachother but the pieces were very finely modelled and detailed. I assumed this would be a gimiky Chess game I would play from time to time... Since it arrived, I have been GLUED to Battle vs Chess. This is not just another incarnation of Chess for you to play, this is Chess for the next generation!!!The game does indeed offer the standard Chess game to play and believe me, it plays a vicious game on high levels so even if you're a pro, which I count myself as, this game will challenge you. But where this differs from other Chess games is that this has a campaign mode...In the campaign, you pick to play as either white (good) or black (bad) and you are taken on a story driven adventure. Here you play Chess games with a twist. New rules are brought into play, new strategic elements are introduced, and what should be a standard game of Chess turns into a whole new adventure! The missions in the campaign really do make you stop and think...! When I started the campaign initially, I breezed through the first mission and I thought to myself that this was just some simple fun to try and liven up Chess (which I don't think it needs, I think the game is very lively as it stands). But the second mission challenged me for a while, and when I passed that, the third mission totally floored me! If you like Chess puzzles, THIS GAME IS FOR YOU!!!The Chess boards and pieces are STUNNINGLY created and animated! You play in different areas ranging from outside on a castle drawbridge to inside in the thrown room. The pieces are beautifully crafted elements of the figures they represent. The Rook is an animated castle, the Knight is a beastly creature - half man half horse, and so on. The pieces move in their own unique way around the board, performing their own attacks in their own unique way again. It is a pure joy to watch this in action!My only gripe with it is the pieces can take a couple of seconds sometimes to get moving, but in all fairness, this is a VERY MINOR gripe.I bought Battle vs Chess as a Chess fan who liked what I saw based on a YouTube video I saw of the game in action.Since I got it, I have not been able to put it down!! As a die hard Chess fan I did not think I would rate this Chess game highly, but I was wrong. This is an EPIC Chess experience and if you're a complete beginner, daily player, or pro, this game has something for everyone! I give Battle vs Chess TOP MARKS. Don't let this game pass you by...!!

I have often wondered about whether a software programme that was able to deal with chess,combined with good graphics would be able to deliver and still be affordable.Well, here we have the answer. Yes, it's do-able.I like chess,but sometimes,you know, it's a bit samey.Along comes this software, and for those times when you want something a bit different, BAM BAM GRAPHICS.Also, a skilful opponent.I really like it,at this price you cannot go wrong, any niggles are not worth mentioning.Extremely good value for money

I've been looking for an animated Chess game for my son (and me). This is the best i found. Graphics are good and the multiple options of gaming makes for the perfect choice in battle chess.
