So what is it about, you may ask? Well, what can possibly be more fun than chess pieces that come to life to beat the snot, blood and brains out of each other.
The game is entirely mouse operated.
In case you mess up, you can always "undo turn".
Can you see all 50 animations? The hardest ones to achieve are the best, for instance the king is badass when killing an enemy. If you click on the "executions" button in the main menu it tells you which ones you've seen and which ones you haven't.
I spent some time creating an entertaining in-game "chess rules" section, which thoroughly explains all the rules of the game on 14 pages. Hopefully, beginner and intermediate players will find it useful.

Yea no
Terrible graphics, sounds were all taken for Warcraft 2. Beat it 4 times in a row, no challenge. try a lot harder next time.
Also, sometimes I would just hear sounds and then see a dead body, no animation...
Would not play again

like the concept but lots of room for improvment
I am a big chess player and really like the programing that went in to this. The computer player was not an easy push over. I really think that the artwork and characters need to be put back to the drawing board however. But it could be an great piece if just a bit more effort went in to it.
