Developed by TopWare Interactive and Gaijin Entertainment, Battle Vs Chess aims to bring the classic tabletop game into the modern age, without removing the essential qualities that have made it popular for centuries. Familiar chess pieces are brought to life as richly detailed 3D models, with players seeing the spectacular results of their actions in their quest for domination of the board.
The traditional white and black armies have evolved into an army of light with their brave knights in shining armor, pitted against the wicked dark army of demons and beastly golems. Each piece is intricately animated and as players move them around the board they spring into life, ready to wage war. If a square is occupied by an enemy unit, they enter into a brutal clash that sees the foe removed from the board in bloody combat. Release Date: TBC
Who does not know the wonderful game of chess. It is believed that the game originated in India. Over the years, the rules have changed, making chess what it is today.
"Check vs. Mate is a title I heard about while over in Europe back in 2010 (known as Battle vs. Chess in the European countries). It was a title that promised me my childhood. The 3-page fold-out poster that came with the local German magazine offered me so much. Battle Chess would be back with a burning vengeance." (darkzero)

I thought this game got canned?
