Yes, there is a battle chess 2! But it isn't much different from 1. The graphix are somewhat better, but the moves are still the same. I'll see if i find the cd back.

there even was a third part in the series. battle chess 4000, a space themed game with better gfx than in part 1 and 2. but i couldn't find it anywhere.

I used to play the game a couple years ago, but as I recall, it was full of bugs. It never let me win, because when I was about to ''kill'' the king, it acted really weird and turned into a completely different piece. Sometimes the game would freeze.

this is like the bad version of battle chess was there not another battle chess where the graphics are alot better???? its also for dos and its abandoned I bet you anything

The version of the game with better graphics was released a few years later and was only for mac. As far as I can tell; I used to play the same version.

And you just have to love how the opposing Queen mysteriously gets two moves in a row......I know how to play chess and I still can't figure out why they would program such a dirty move >.> Hmmm...

The animations are quite fun though. I love it when two knights go up against each other. It is sooo Monty Python.

Woa, I remember this. It was, and am I'm sure still is, hilarious.

BATTLE CHESS is one of the best and funnyiest board games ever. for sure the graphiks arent so good as these on the amiga battle chess, but the game is still the same, and chess, dont really need graphiks. so long, do your first move!

:Titan:

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...

furst game i ever played on pc. it was either this, or make cheesy banners with my name on them, with borders and that crap. this game actually made me want to get a better system!

Well, color me confused, but I am not sure how to go about playing this game...

If it is still protected (and not abandoned) where does one acquire a legal copy of this game. Is it available from some vendor?

NOT trying to do something illegal, but am very interested in playing this...

THANKS
