The Kings' Game- Completely different!
Chess is one of the oldest board games in history and also one of the most popular; it challenges people of all ages and requires strategic planning both in long term and short term moves with one goal at the end to place your opponent’s King into checkmate. Battle Chess was first seen in 1988 arriving first on the Commodore Amiga then onto other platforms. Now TopWare Interactive has made it available for Xbox 360 in a stunning package which is a delight for any Chess fan.
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)
