Runs great and plays like a classic chess sim with a fancy twist
Old but still enjoyable chess program. I would love it if a updated battle chess came out.
a fun way to play chess

THE chess game. The classic version is nice and funny as hell.
interesting. Cant go wrong with the "88" version
set your own level always something to do
In 3D mode, it's awesome to see what bishops, knights, etc, do to each other when capturing. But when it comes to seeing where the pieces are in relation to each other, & thus the best move to make, 2D mode is more advantageous.
I used to play this game on DOS Great Game!!
Tenia un muy grato recuerdo de este programa, pero también tenia 10 años y nada que hacer en todo el día… siempre me gusto mucho el ajedrez, soy aficionado entusiasta del juego. Vencer a la maquina en dificultad 4 no fue lo mas difícil del mundo, pero me tomo cerca 45 min o 1 hora terminar cada partida…. El juego transcurre a un ritmo EXASPERANTE, sin posibilidad alguna de acelerar la acción. Si mi memoria no me engaña, cuando jugaba a esto por allá en el año 97 o 98, el mio era en blanco y negro, y la acción transcurría de forma mucho mas veloz. No vencía a la maquina por aquel entonces al ajedrez, solo disfrutaba muchísimo viendo las animaciones de las piezas. Suelo ser sumamente benevolente con los juegos retro porque soy un nostálgico de alma, tengo 38 años y toda la vida jugué videojuegos. Salvo contadas excepciones, no suelo jugar juegos competitivos ni multijugador, ni de deportes, por lo que mi tolerancia a la frustración es bastante alta, ya que me avoco a juegos para un solo jugador. Pero tengo que reconocer, que no recuerdo cuando fue la ultima vez que tuve ganas de agarrar a trompadas el monitor, y este juego de ajedrez me llevo a eso… Después de jugar, simplemente quería agarrar algo a patadas… y eso no es buena señal jajaja. En resumidas cuentas, debe ser algo del port a nuestros tiempos seguramente, pero no puedo recomendar esta versión del Battle Chess ni siquiera por el factor nostalgia, porque es prácticamente injugable.
Like some other players I was experiencing a crash problem with the Enhanced version i.e. ERROR 01 PRESS LEFT KEY OR ENTER TO CONFIRM. In an attempt to get past the problem, I re-started and saved the game before the crash, with the idea of reloading the game, to avoid re-entering many moves. Not only did this work, but the program seems to have stopped crashing! I'll keep monitoring and see how it goes. The options to save and load can be viewed by pressing the Mouse right click button and then selecting Disk.
