GameXplain: "From today’s point of view, the graphics of Interplay’s Battle Chess seem highly inferior, but it’s still easy to see what made the game great back in 1988. While the gameplay itself wasn’t something to talk about--it’s simply chess after all--capturing the opponent’s pieces made it shine with unique and entertaining battle animations. All other features aside, this uniqueness was what I was hoping for when starting up Topware Interactive’s similarly named Battle vs. Chess. Sadly, it isn’t there. What’s left is fantasy chess with nice aesthetics, a very small amount of mini-games, and new gameplay features that potentially kill the idea of chess completely."
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)

Sweet. Chess.
I want a new Star Wars Chess!
