Battle Chess is certainly the funniest rendition of chess I have ever seen.
It gives me great satisfaction to see the CPUs queen eaten whole by my Rook-troll.

However, why do computer AIs always fight dirty? I mean, they won't let me take their queen easily even on novice! (What's level 9 like? :blink: )

I used to play battles with my Kasporov computer chess set.
In my games, each piece had his all had their own attacks:
Pawns - short sharp kick that sent the receiver flying.
Bishop - charge and impale them on his miter.
Knights - headbutt them with his horse-head.
Rooks - blast them with his tower's bombard cannon.
Queen - grab them, jump and slam them on the ground head-first.
King - for an old guy, quite a good throw.

Maybe this battle chess would inspire me to think up even more variety...
